Looks like it's the same little air cooled thumper from the KLX230 dual sport in a BEAUTIFUL chassis! I can't believe we're getting this in North America! We never get cool small bore bikes like this! i'm over here measuring my garage for space....

They're calling it a 2025 model, so i'm not expecting it to be long.

I think in some other markets it's being sold as the "Meguro S1"

Just checked:
1* US specification available
2* Canadian and European specs N/A :
Email from a third party:
"I sent an e-mail to Kawasaki Canada yesterday asking if there were any plans to bring the W230 or Meguro S1 to Canada.
They responded today saying those decisions are made in Japan, who then inform Canada and other countries of any new bikes they can expect.
They said they would forward my message to Kawasaki Japan. I doubt very much we will see the W230 in 2024, if ever. I think the market in North America for small retro style bikes might just be too small."
