2025 Kawasaki W 230 ABS

2025 Kawasaki W230 ABS The Original Icon, Reimagined Timeless Style Meets Modern Accessibility The 2025 Kawasaki W230 ABS is a beautiful "blast from the past" that brings the iconic 1960s British-twin silhouette to a new generation of riders. At Souhegan Valley Motorsports, we love how this bike pays direct homage to the 1965 Kawasaki 650-W1. Its a machine that prioritizes the pure joy of motorcycling over raw statistics. With its teardrop fuel tank, spoked wheels, and peashooter exhaust, it looks like it rolled straight out of a vintage photograph, but it's engineered with the reliability and ease of use that modern riders expect. Friendly Power and Effortless Handling The W230 is designed to be approachable, making it a perfect choice for new riders, commuters, or anyone looking for a stress-free weekend cruiser. Proven 233cc Engine: At its heart is a reliable, air-cooled 233cc fuel-injected single-cylinder engine. Tuned for smooth, linear power, it delivers a delightful "thump" and ample low-to-mid-range torque (14.0 lb-ft) for navigating the scenic backroads of Milford and Amherst. Lightweight and Nimble: Weighing in at just 315 lbs (curb weight), the W230 is one of the lightest bikes in its class. This lightweight build, combined with a slim chassis, makes it incredibly easy to maneuver in parking lots or through tight city traffic. Accessible Seat Height: With a low seat height of just 29.3 inches, almost any rider can comfortably get both feet flat on the ground at a stoplighta massive confidence booster for those just starting their riding journey. Smooth 6-Speed Transmission: Unlike many small-displacement retros that stick to 5 gears, the W230 features a 6-speed transmission, allowing for more relaxed engine RPMs when cruising at higher speeds. Vintage Soul with Contemporary Tech Kawasaki has carefully integrated modern necessities into the W230 without spoiling its retro charm. Standard ABS: Safety is paramount. The W230 comes standard with an Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), featuring a 265mm front disc and a 220mm rear disc to ensure stable, controlled stopping power on unpredictable New England road surfaces. LED Lighting: While the headlight maintains a classic round shape, it utilizes modern LED technology for superior visibility during night rides through the Souhegan Valley. Classic Instrumentation: The dual-clock setup features traditional analog-style gauges for that vintage feel, but includes a discreet LCD display for your odometer, trip meter, and clock. Quality Finishes: From the 3D "W" tank emblems to the chrome-plated handlebars and painted steel fenders, the W230 feels like a premium, high-quality machine.
