The retro-classic design of the Kawasaki W175 is accentuated by a single-piece handlebar with a round headlight. The brand has equipped the motorcycle with front fork gaiters and upright rearview mirrors. In addition to this, the bike features a blacked-out engine as well as an exhaust system. Kawasaki W175 further features a single-seat saddle while the rear profile has also been offered a classic outlook.
