presentation of the W 800 Edition Speciale 2016

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. The 2016 model is less striking than the black and gold of the first Special Edition, but has a seductive patina. The machine's deep black color is singularly enlivened by a few white stripe drops. Only the chrome parts and rims escape the dark cloak that covers most of the machine. The spoked wheels are also black. The bevel gearing, polished cylinder head fins, elegant "800 SPECIAL EDITION" sign, white piping on the saddle, etc. are a delight to behold.

this color is available for a few euros more than the standard W 800. After that, all that's left to do is enjoy a bucolic ride to the cheerful 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
