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….

CLICK AND SIGN THE PETITION TO PROTECT W175 Riders from HEALTH HAZARD RISING FROM ENGINE OVERHEATING - Inform Kawasaki W175 owners/buyers about substandard designed low quality bikes are sold and being sold by Kawasaki even after clearly knowing it has engine overheating problem and this needs to be stopped and Kawasaki fined for damaging human health even after knowing that exposure of the human leg from thigh to ankle to temperatures around & beyond 100 degrees Fahrenheit will potentially cause a range of problems - 1. 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.
