Overview

Let's re-live the past

With all of us getting a bit older, there is a hunger for the retro models that simply means that the W230 makes complete sense right now. Lighter and more manageable…. Shame they are going to be in such short supply!!

Design

Is it plageorism?

Or artistic License?

The design department got an easy day that day. Or did they……Make the design as true to the original as possible, but use all the new technology at your fingertips.

Concept

Re-live the past

The concept is simple. Make the bike as true to it’s predeccessor as is legally possible. Bear in mind that today ABS is compulsory!!

Light Weight, Light Handling

Effortless

Confidence inspiring

The W230 is one of the lightest models in the 250cc retro sport category at 143 kg, which facilitates handling and enhances rider confidence. An excellent power-to weight ratio is another benefit.

Timeless Beauty: Historic W-Family Looks

The W230 carries on the proud tradition of the W series with styling touches that have been in-style since the original W. The W230 possesses a simple, timeless beauty that lovers of classic motorcycles will appreciate.

Classic W Ride Feel

Special attention was given to ensuring that the W230 has a pleasant, rumbling character when twisting the throttle at low- to mid-rpm. The classic riding position, rhythmic pulse, and fine-tuned exhaust note add to rider enjoyment.

Relaxed Riding Position

Position of the handlebar, seat and footpegs put the rider in a relaxed, upright position that facilitates control of the bike.
