presentation of the W 800 Edition Speciale 2012

a very nice neo-retro machine, the W 800 is also available in a Special Edition livery.
Hold on, slow down, we're not getting carried away. No special equipment, inverted forks or racing parts, just a new color scheme. But this one is particularly well suited to the descendant of the W1 and W 650. A deep, black color that extends right down to the engine and turns matte on the exhausts. Only the chrome parts and wheels escape the dark cloak. The spoked wheels are beautifully gilded. A few details complete the charm, such as the gold-colored piping on the fuel tank, the two-lion badge on the tank, the highlighted bevel gear, the polished cylinder head fins...

this color is available for 300 euros more than the standard W 800 in green and gray. After that, all that's left to do is stroll along to the playful rhythm of the parallel-twin's 48 horsepower. No sport, no brutality, no angst, just charm and a bit of fun.

choubidou Model 2012

i bought this motorcycle on the suberb deumerant, good engine, hell of a mouth, easy, endearing, a delightful sound, but I've parted with it : it doesn't brake !!! in comparison my 2500 euros scoter has much better coupled braking. come on mr Kawa put a second brake disc at the front and one at the rear and I'll take a slice back even if the price goes up a bit. 05/09/2013 15:02 Rating : 3/5 Respond to choubidou

ARMAND57 Model 2012

this bike is extra-ordinary in its category in my opinion, from 2011 WITH 23000 km without any problem, no expenses except oil change done by myself, soon rear tire, see brake pads front, what happiness!!! I recommend this bike!!! ,it's not necessarily an old man's bike !!! though !!! I've got 70 BALLS Â§Â§ 01/22/2013 12:01 Rating : 5/5 Respond to ARMAND57
