Is the Kawasaki W175 good for beginners?

Broadly yes. With 177cc and 12.8 hp @ 7500 rpm, the Kawasaki W175 is manageable for newer riders and is roughly A2-friendly. Confirm licence eligibility for your market and build confidence gradually.

Is the Kawasaki W175 good for shorter riders?

Often yes. The 790mm seat height is on the lower side, so shorter riders frequently reach the ground with confidence. A low seat or lowering options can help further.

Is the Kawasaki W175 good for touring?

The Kawasaki W175's 13L tank means more frequent fuel stops on a long trip. It can still tour, but a larger or auxiliary tank helps on big miles.
