Kawasaki - W800 [Stock Exhaust] - Ride to Ehrenstein Monastery - Part 1 

Thanks for watching and commenting! I'm a big fan of your content 😁 Humbled you'd visit my small channel 😊👍

I do that too 🤣👍

@@FredEricS-Moto Did you do anything to the exhaust? Is it really the actual stock sound, like said in the description? Or did you take off the DB killer? I mean, this exhaust note is absolutely sublime. In this day and age, it's kind of surprising to see a manufacturer making sure the bike sounds good. :)

@@jaybou007 it's the stock exhaust without any modifications. Kawasaki overhauled the exhaust with the 2019 models and this is the result. Earlier models are really quiet and only sound good with an aftermarket exhaust imo, but models from 2019 onward sound really good with the stock exhaust 👍

Thanks for watching 😊 Kawasaki really improved the exhaust sound on the newer models. I'm glad they did 👍

@@FredEricS-Motowhat year is your w800? sounds amazing!

​@@nikolaskazantzis2905 it's the 2020 model :-)

Freut mich, dass die Videos (und mein Fahrstil) gefallen 🙂 Ich bin 1.93 und passe noch gut auf die W800, wobei ich auf meiner Classic tatsächlich aufrechter sitze und die Beine entspannter sind. Der Unterschied ist aber minimal und fällt kaum auf. Auf beiden fährt es sich auf kurzen wie auf langen Touren sehr angenehm. Mein Mantra zum fahren auf Motorrädern wie auf Fahrrädern ist übrigens "fahre, als wärst du unsichtbar". Den Rat gab mir mein Vater vor vielen Jahren 😊

Thanks for watching 😊 Sorry for the lack of new content 😅

Thank you very much 😁

I find having both the Classic 500 and the W800 to be a perfect combination of bikes to own. I really enjoy the feeling of riding an "old" bike when I'm on the Classic and I enjoy the sound and tad more power when on the W. Love both bikes and alternate between the two for my rides. Mic placement isn't that important actually. It's more important to have proper mics and wind protection for them. Check out Filippo Rider's channel (Japanese YT bike channel), I basically do what he does 🤣

Sadly no, the DB killers are still in. The entire bike is unmodified 🙂

@@FredEricS-Moto I have W800, 2011 year and with stock exhaust it is so silent... I think that yours sounds much louder and more aggresive :)

That's because Kawasaki finally decided to improve the sound of the exhaust system with the 2019 models. Mine is a 2020. I took a 2012 model for a test ride and was surprised how silent it was. Knew then and there if I buy a W800, it has to be a newer model with the overhauled exhaust sound 😁👌

True that! Enjoy your beautiful bikes and drive safe 😁👍

@@FredEricS-Moto Thanks Fred E - and you too!

Nope, it's Germany. Although I do have some Norway videos coming up once I get around to editing. Might take a while though, life has been and is quite busy 😕

Merci Alain! Je suis heureux que vous ayez aimé la vidéo 😀 À bientôt 👍✌

She's the second bike 😊 I will never sell the Classic, they're both with me for good 😁👍

@@FredEricS-Moto That's my case too; That's why I own my 2018 Classic 500 and the 2003 Moto Guzzi Breva 750.
