The Spec'd take

Why it stands out

  • Genuine retro-styled entry point into owning a Kawasaki, at the lowest price of any model the brand sells in India
  • Real lightweight 135 kg kerb weight makes it genuinely easy to handle for a new rider

Worth knowing

  • 13 hp is genuinely modest even by small-capacity standards, more a style statement than a performance motorcycle
  • Real ownership costs (service, parts) run meaningfully higher than mainstream Indian commuter brands

Source Notes / Discrepancies

Source Notes / Discrepancies Two versions in India: the standard with spoke wheels and tube tyres, and the Street with alloy wheels and tubeless tyres, plus slightly different seat height, wheelbase and ground clearance (BikeWale). Sources file the Street differently: Autocar India treats it as a separate model, ZigWheels as a W175 variant, and BikeWale as a "W175 Alloy Wheel" line. Prices conflict: BikeWale's launch report headlines the Street at Rs 1.35 lakh, while current BikeWale and ZigWheels listings show Rs 1.25 lakh against the standard's Rs 1.15 lakh. Built in India at Chakan and, as of June 2026, exported to the US as the W175 LTD.
