Pros Cons of Kawasaki W800 Street

Pros

  • Refined motor
  • Modern-classic styling
  • Comfortable riding position

Cons

  • Quality could've been better
  • Pricey over rivals
  • Lacks on the feature front

Verdict

The Kawasaki W800 is a modern classic model which pays homage to the 1960s Kawasaki W series models. With its minimalistic yet elegant design, simple lines, the W800 looks like a proper authentic retro bike. The W800 has a charmingly retro vibe to it and the performance complements that, although the engineering is completely modern. The only downside is the price, which makes it an expensive proposition.

Pros Cons Harley-Davidson Forty-Eight

Pros

  • Classic H-D cruiser styling
  • V-twin engine sound

Cons

  • Small fuel tank limits range
  • Gearbox not very refined
  • Performance & acceleration

Verdict

The Harley-Davidson Forty-Eight Special is definitely not your affordable cruiser. After all, there's a price to be paid to look uber cool and enhance your riding personality. If you're the kind of guy who wants to make a statement with your ride, and nothing short of an all-American v-twin cruiser will do, by all means take a good look at the Forty-Eight, you may end up bringing it home. Just keep in mind that it may start losing its appeal soon.
