Kawasaki : Meguro K3 MEGURO has been revived from Kawasaki Motors. It has been half a century since Kawasaki Aircraft last announced the Meguro brand motorcycle KAWASAKI 500: Meguro K2. The model name naturally means the successor to K2, moreover, it intends to revive and inherit the Meguro brand. For that purpose, the "Meguro" trademark and trademark (Meguro Wing) design, which had been cut off, were re-patented. The base of the model is the current model: W800, and the frame, wheels and engine are the same as the normal specification it. From there, a design that matches the image of Meguro is added, and it is finished as one that motorcycle be correctly called Meguro. The most particular part is Feltank. The nostalgic Meguro 500cc design is reproduced in a well-proportioned W800 teardrop type tank. (For "plated" surface finish, black and white edges on the top and both sides oval pattern) However, the surface finish is not plated, but silver mirror painting is used. Furthermore, the design is not painted, but black decals are used to achieve both productivity and appearance. For the surface treatment, Kawasaki's original painting technology, "Highly Durable Paint" which is resistant to scratches and has a self-healing effect, is used. It is not a simple retro style, but incorporates the latest technology. The tank badge reproduces the traditional "Meguro wing" design, due to productivity issues and the harmful effects of the pigments used, the cloisonne specifications of the old Meguro era were not adopted, this is also the latest technology, with an embossed aluminum base based on a high-precision press, and a gem that is particular about reproducing with coloring based on a hand-painted finish, which is a hassle. By modifying the handle form, it is a semi-up that is slightly wider than the W800, and it is in a rough riding position that was also called a nostalgic "throne riding". Since the W800 itself is a model that follows the flow of the W1 series to W650 inherited from the K2, it shows the finish of a "Meguro" motorcycle without any discomfort. In addition, the "Meguro" logo engraved on the engine (timing cover) of the old Meguro is attached to the side cover with a vermilion one point, the instrument panel also has a logo on the speedometer at one point, etcc It is not a derivative model of W800, but has specifications that emphasize originality. In terms of performance, it is not a nostalgic appearance at all, and it is a modern motorcycle that can be enjoyed while driving while keeping the specifications of W800. This model is recommended for enthusiasts who are interested in old Meguro but struggle to get into the classic model, and for middle-aged and older revival riders. Speaking of greed, if a starter with a cell kick in the W650 era is attached, will it become a more GOOD modelô * Sold from February 1, 2021 *** Principal statistics *** * Total length : 2,190 mm * Full-width : 925 mm * Total height : 1,130 mm * Distance between axis : 1,465 mm * Weight : 227 kgf * Engine type : 2BL-EJ800B type: Two cylinder SOHC 4 cycle * Entire aerodynamic volume displacement : 773 cc * Installed capacity : 52.0 PS / 6,500 rpm * Full speed : (185) km/h * Reference value * Fuel economy : 30 km/L * Transmission : 5-step return * Tire : (Front) 100/90-19M/C 57H / (Rear) 130/80-18M/C 66H * Starting system : Self starter
