Kawasaki launched the retro-style W175 Street motorcycle at India Bike Week 2023. With a starting price of Rs 1.35 lakh (approximately $1,617), the Kawasaki W175 Street gains new features such as lightweight alloy wheels, tubeless tires, and new color schemes.
Compared to the current W175, the new W175 Street receives several visual and mechanical updates. Foremost are the two new paint schemes – Candy Emerald Green and Metallic Moondust Grey. Both paint schemes feature unique graphics on the fuel tank. The Street also gets new 17-inch lightweight alloy wheels and tubeless tires, as opposed to the spoked wheels and tubed tires of the standard W175.
Mechanically, the W175 Street has a few differences compared to the standard W175. It sits lower to the ground, at 152 mm, compared to the 165 mm of the standard W175, and the seat height is slightly lower at 786.5 mm (compared to 790 mm). It also receives a smaller 245 mm front disc brake, down from 270 mm.
Meanwhile, the engine remains unchanged, with the 177 cc air-cooled single-cylinder unit continuing to produce 12.9 hp at 7,500 rpm and a maximum torque of 13.2 Nm at 6,000 rpm.
