The 2012 Kawasaki W800 is a 773 cm³, fuel-injected, air-cooled parallel twin with a five-speed gearbox. Kawasaki’s archived European specification lists 35 kW (48 PS), 60 Nm, and a 217 kg curb mass; figures differ in a Japanese-market report, so use the specifications for the motorcycle’s own market and version.

Why published figures can differ by market
A Japanese-market report published September 30, 2011 said the 2012 model continued without specification changes and listed 62 N·m at 2,500 rpm and 216 kg. Kawasaki’s European archive gives 60 Nm and 217 kg. These are market-specific source figures, not values to combine into a single universal specification. The Japanese report also listed Candy Gold Spark and Metallic Dark Green for the standard model, with Ebony for the Special Edition, and gave a planned Japanese release date of November 1, 2011. Check the registration details, model code, and documentation for the individual motorcycle before relying on any regional table. Source: Kawasaki1ban, 2012 W800 model report.

Standard W800 vs. W800 Special Edition
Kawasaki’s European archive lists the standard model in Metallic Dark Green and a separate 2012 Special Edition in Ebony. The Special Edition specification page repeats the standard European model’s core engine and chassis figures: 773 cm³, 35 kW (48 PS) at 6,500 rpm, 60 Nm at 2,500 rpm, five-speed transmission, chain drive, 300 mm front disc, rear drum, and 217 kg curb mass. The documented distinction here is trim and finish; the cited European specifications do not establish a different engine output for the Special Edition.
| European 2012 version | Listed color | Core specification difference established by these Kawasaki listings |
|---|---|---|
| Standard W800 | Metallic Dark Green | No distinct engine-output difference listed |
| W800 Special Edition | Ebony | No distinct engine-output difference listed |

Design and engine character
Kawasaki Heavy Industries described the W800 as a vintage-inspired continuation of its W series, whose history it traced to the W1 introduced in 1966. The manufacturer highlighted an upright parallel twin with a 360-degree crankshaft and heavy flywheels, deep cooling fins, a right-side bevel gearbox, fuel injection, and a Cabton-style muffler. Other listed details include a double-cradle frame, 19-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels, analog speedometer and tachometer with an LCD display, and a tuck-and-roll seat. These are Kawasaki’s design and positioning claims, not independent road-test findings.

Tire sizes and fitment checks
For the European standard W800, Kawasaki lists a 100/90-19M/C 57H front tire and a 130/80-18M/C 66H rear tire. Treat these as the archived specification for that version, not as universal fitment confirmation for every imported or modified 2012 W800.
- Check the tire placard and the owner’s manual for the specific motorcycle.
- Confirm the market, model code, and wheel configuration before ordering replacement tires.
- Ask a qualified tire or parts supplier to verify current fitment guidance, load and speed ratings, and compatibility.
