The teaser image on social media has a reference to 1965, which is when the W series of Kawasaki motorcycle rolled off the assembly line for the first time. The W175 is likely to get alloy wheels with tubeless tyres and vibrant colour schemes, which could add a hint of modernity and freshness to the motorcycle that looks a little too old-school. Mechanically, it is expected to stay the same as before.
