Very pretty. I don't recognize the make. Looks like a right leany gas sipper. What's your displacement?
It’s just a wee little thing, it’s a 2025 Kawasaki W230, 233cc and 17 horsepower, air cooled single cylinder. It hasn’t been selling well in the US/Canada market because almost everyone wants bigger, louder, more powerful bikes, but I love it for being a simple little machine.
Sounds perfect for in town or country rides. It's more fun to wring a little bike's neck than to constantly have to hold back a big bike. I've done both. There's almost nowhere to open up a really fast bike. Light and nimble is more fun.
