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.
