The Kawasaki W175 is a 177 cc (10.8 cu in) air-cooled four-stroke single-cylinder motorcycle made by Kawasaki since 2017.[1] It is a retro styled, like the Kawasaki W series along with the Estrella (now called as W250), W650, and W800.[2][3][4]

Kawasaki held the world premiere launch for this bike at Jakarta in November 2017, thus began selling this bike for the Indonesian domestic market.[5][6] As for now, the bike has been exported for Thailand, Philippines, and Latin American market such as Uruguay, Mexico and Bolivia.[7][8][9][10][11]

The engine is fuelled by a Mikuni VM24 carburetor, aimed for easier maintenance.[12] Like the W800, the bike does not have a kick start, instead it is equipped with electric start. No center stand (although a side stand does come as standard), no tachometer, and no fuel indicator.[13][14][15]

This bike gained some popularity among bike modification enthusiasts and public figures, including President Jokowi of Indonesia who owns a chopper-style modified version of this bike and Governor Ridwan Kamil of West Java.[16][17][18][19][20]

It is sold in a few different versions, including the W175 Standard, W175 Cafe, and W175 TR dual purpose. All versions except the dual-purpose have a teardrop styled 13.5 L (3.0 imp gal; 3.6 US gal) fuel tank.[21][22] The dual purpose TR models have a 7.5 L fuel tank. For the lighting equipment, the bike uses halogen bulbs for the H4 60/55 headlight with clear multi reflectors.[23][24] As for the turning signal lights and side mirrors, the bike use the same parts from Kawasaki KLX150.[23]

Performance wise, the bike was tested by an automotive journalist team and got a top speed figure of 110.1 km/h. Based on the test, the bike could accelerate to 100 km/h speed in 16.3 seconds.[14]
