The Kawasaki W175 is a 177 cc (10.8 cu in) air-cooled four-stroke single-cylinder motorcycle made by Kawasaki since 2017. It is a retro styled, like the Kawasaki W series[1][2][3].

Kawasaki began selling the W175 in November 2017[4][5]. The engine is fuelled by a Mikuni VM24 carburetor. Like the W800, the bike does not have a kick start, instead it is equipped with electric start. No center stand (although a side stand does come as standard), and no fuel indicator[6].

This bike gains some popularity among bike modification enthusiasts[7][8], including President Jokowi of Indonesia who owns a chopper-style modified version of this bike[9].

It is sold in a few different versions, including the W175 Standard, W175 Cafe, and W175 TR dual purpose. All versions except the dual-purpose have a teardrop styled 13.5 L (3.0 imp gal; 3.6 US gal) fuel tank.[10][11]. The dual purpose TR models itself have a 7.5 l fuel tank.
