Tell us what you think of this W 800 Black Edition 2015

presentation of the W 800 Black Edition 2015

the W 800 continues to be available in a more distinctive edition, but with a new name. It's no longer the Spéciale, but the Black Edition.
The formula remains the same, as it's all about style. No special equipment, inverted forks or racing parts, just a new color scheme. The 2015 color is less striking than the black and gold of the first Special Edition, but has a seductive patina. From the tip of the forks to the bottom of the exhausts, the machine is cloaked in deep black. Only a few chrome parts escape the dark cloak that covers most of the machine. The spoked wheels are also black. The bevel gearing, the polished cylinder head fins, the elegant "Black Edition" calligraphy, etc. are all there for the taking.

Insurance Specifications Gallery

this color is available for a few euros more than the standard W 800. 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
