Two highly accessible 233cc retro sport machines in the European A2 licence category continue the Meguro and Kawasaki W heritage in the popular 250cc class for 2027. The Meguro S1 and Kawasaki W230 have established themselves as authentic modern classics in the A2 European licence category and each has its own special DNA.

Both brands have been part of the Kawasaki family for over half a century and the S1 and W230 jointly uphold a long tradition. With a rider friendly weight, and seat heights they now widen the experience to even more motorcyclists than ever.

Careful consideration has been given to capture the pleasant, rumbling engine character afforded by the 233 cm3 air-cooled 4-stroke SOHC single cylinder engine. Thanks to linear power delivery and ample torque throughout the rev range, especially in the low- to mid-rpm range, the S1 and W230 will sit well in the 2027 Kawasaki range offering comfortable acceleration with a pleasant pulsating sensation, which is further bolstered by an internal engine balancer for smooth overall acceleration. And to heighten the senses, the exhaust note is fine-tuned to produce a deep bass sound and pulsing sensation when accelerating.

The rider-friendly engine character of each machine is complemented by a compact, lightweight chassis offering both comfortable cruising plus light, predictable handling and styling that speaks to the heart of anyone who appreciates classic motorcycles. While the Meguro accurately reflects the look and appeal of the 1960’s S1 machine, the W230’s looks continue the W series’ proud tradition of elegant styling and proportions with numerous present-day touches contributing to a well-rounded personality.

To make the S1 and W230 light and to facilitate handling for a wide range of riders, the frames are slim, compact and lightweight making each machine highly accessible for both for new and returning riders, while details like a classic seat design, steel fenders, teardrop fuel tank, retro meters and spoked wheels contribute to their timeless beauty and an authentic feel that riders notice immediately.

Appealing to the unquenchable appetite for retro style machines with modern engineering and build quality, the S1 and W230 will sit proudly alongside a comprehensive variety of machines in the 2027 Kawasaki range assured of their modern classic status.
