The W230 is a retro-styled entry-level road bike that takes its look from the 1965 650-W1, with a round headlight, steel fenders, spoked wheels and a peashooter-style silencer. It uses a fuel-injected 233 cc air-cooled single with ABS standard, and mixes an LCD display with round vintage-style dials. Kawasaki positions it as one of the lightest bikes in its class.
