BS6 Kawasaki W800 Street Launched, Gets Massive Price Cut

Kawasaki has updated its mid-capacity retro parallel-twin cruiser motorcycle, the W800 Street to comply with the latest emission norms. While the BS6-compliance has resulted in a hike in prices across almost all vehicles sold in the country, Kawasaki has surprised us by sending the W800 Street the other way.

The BS6-compliant W800 Street is priced at just Rs 6.99 lakh, making it a whopping Rs 1 lakh more affordable than the outgoing BS4 version which was retailed at Rs 7.99 lakh (both prices, ex-showroom).

To add on to it, Kawasaki hasn’t altered the bike’s powertrain, and the 773 cc air-cooled vertical-twin motor continues to belt out 52 PS of maximum power, along with 62.9 Nm of peak torque. Apart from the cleaner engine, no other changes have been made to the retro-looking bike.

Given the hefty price reduction, the W800 Street has now become an even more attractive offering against its rivals, the Triumph Street Twin and the Triumph Bonneville T100, which are priced at Rs 7.45 lakh and Rs 8.7 lakh (ex-showroom) respectively. Considering the fact that these two Triumph bikes are yet to be upgraded to comply with the latest emission norms, the price is likely to rise further.
