Kawasaki W175 Caught Testing In India, Launching Soon?

Kawasaki set to introduce a sub 200cc version of the iconic W800 in India.

This was confirmed by a set of leaked photos of a test mule claimed to be the retro-style classic W175 in a production-ready form.

The W175 carries the same classic motorcycle element with round headlamps, teardrop fuel tank, circular instrument, and wire-spoked wheels like its bigger siblings, the W800.

Reports in India suggest the W175 offers 13.05hp @ 7,500rpm and 13.2Nm @ 6,000rpm thanks to a 177cc air-cooled, single-cylinder engine.

While the numbers might not seem attractive, the W175 is expected to offer comfortable riding suitable for daily commute.

However, Kawasaki is yet to release an official timeline for the launch of the W175 in India.

Currently, the W175 is already available in the Philippines and Indonesia.
