Kawasaki W800 Street vs Triumph Trident 660 Comparison

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.

The Trident 660 has been positioned as an entry-level premium bike, for riders with less experience, or for those looking for a bike to get back into motorcycling. Looking at just the numbers, the Trident may not feel like much, but with 80 bhp power, with 90 per cent of the torque spread out across the rev range, in a 189 kg kerb weight package, makes for quite an entertaining motorcycle. It will be perfect for the daily commute, and will be up for some weekend fun.
