Kawasaki W175 Expert Reviews
Pros
- The authentic retro styling draws heavily from 1960s W-series models.
- At just 135 kg, it is nimble and easy to handle, which builds confidence for beginner riders.
- Its 177 cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine has a smooth power delivery with minimal vibrations at 100 kmph.
- It has a five-speed gearbox that operates with smooth click and an easy-to-find neutral position.
- A soft suspension setup handles road undulations and broken patches comfortably.
- It offers progressive braking capabilities which is assisted by single-channel ABS.
Cons
- The price tag puts it close to larger-capacity bikes like the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 and TVS Ronin.
- It misses out on modern equipment like LED lighting, tubeless tyres, alloy wheels and rear disc brake.
- Low-end torque feels muted and needs you work the engine to get some lively output.
- It lacks a tachometer, gear-position indicator, and Bluetooth connectivity.
- The front disc brake does not have a sharp lever bite when stopping from higher speeds.
Verdict
The Kawasaki W175 is for those who need access to classic motorcycling. It offers light handling, neat retro styling, and a refined 177 cc engine. What also helps its case is the low weight and soft suspension, which makes it forgiving for beginners riding in traffic.
Seshan Vijayraghvan said in his review, “Yes, the price is a bit steep for a 177 cc motorcycle, but the W175 looks nice, comes with a very refined engine and has the potential to be a good beginner’s motorcycle.”
At the same time, the lack of modern features, absence of brighter lighting, and the modest low-end power output makes its asking price hard to justify. Especially when compared to similarly priced rivals such as the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 and TVS Ronin.
W175 Colour Options
Kawasaki W175 is available in 4 different colors namely Metallic Moondust Grey, Candy Emerald Green, Candy Persimmon Red & EBONY.

- KAWASAKI 175 CHEATING IN MAKING1.0Alloy Wheel(Petrol)I bought it just because it is simple and weightless, just by trusting the brand. It cost 1.7 lakhs in Hyderabad, where they also charged handling fees. I just got out the showroom and post-riding for a kilometre... I could smell the burning and heating from the engine and there was an annoying engine noise coming. I thought it was a new bike and that might be gone post some usage. The annoying sound from the engine continued and the heating became unbearable. I raised the complaint during servicing and they said it is tappet noise and that it can't be controlled and they have no option for overheating. And coming to performance... Bajaj CT 100 is 100x better than this fake 170 cc bike by Kawasaki. To take a turn and if you become a little slow, you have to shift to first gear every time. And drum brakes are the worst and you don't feel confident at all. Buying this bike is the second biggest mistake of my life and the first one is trusting Kawasaki. They are nothing but cheaters who deserve slipper shots. TVS Apache and Pulsar have got more than everything, including safety features, at this price. I repeat... The Kawasakis have disrespected India and Indians, and this bike is the example. Never trust Japanese… They are a bunch of hypocrites… They write IKIGAIs but they make their country unliveable for their young population and have no young population at all….By Bhaasvanth PPosted on: Aug 10, 2025 12:52 PM00

Skin damage will occur through the formation of blisters and other burns. 2. The sweat glands will also be triggered, which can lead to dehydration if not addressed soon. Long-term exposure to such temperatures can cause permanent pigment changes, as well as damage to the blood vessels in the skin.By MaharidhiPosted on: May 29, 2024 05:48 PM20
