Webike's Opinion
Here is a "KAWASAKI W800" custom by Webike community user "Maruchii". The owner has wanted to make it his end-of-life bike and chosen the W800 as his all-mighty companion. This is not the bike for the enthusiast who is all about horsepower, performance, turning, and other spec., but it is a travel companion for those who have their own pace, their own tastes, and are not influenced by the others around them. The universal windshield gives the W800 a more retro look. The short-legged owner, who looks like a "ballerina" when riding the W800, has replaced the W400's stock seat (which is listed as a "low seat" in the W800 catalog). The handlebar has been also changed to EZ-FIT BAR, so although it is not a high-performance bike, it is a bike that gives you a sense of security that stays with you as you ride it from city riding to long touring.
