Japanese motorcycle manufacturer is all set to launch the retro-styled Estrella 175.
Japanese motorcycle manufacturer Kawasaki is all geared up to launch its new retro-styled bike. TMCblog reports that the company will introduce the Estrella 175 in the second half of 2017.
Initially, the Estrella 175 will go on sale in the Indonesian market. Previously it was reported that Kawasaki was developing a retro-style motorcycle. The Estrella 175 was also spotted testing in Indonesia.
The report also states that the Estrella 175 will be offered in two variants - standard and special edition. Kawasaki is expected to launch the new motorcycle in November 2017. The overall design of the motorcycle is similar to Triumph Bonneville.
The Estrella 175 is identical to its elder sibling, the Estrella 250. The motorcycle features classic exhaust pipe, round headlamp, spoke wheels, single piece bench seat and chrome rear view mirrors.

The Estrella 175 is equipped with telescopic forks up front and twin shocks at the rear. Braking duties are handled by disc at the front and drum unit at the rear. The motorcycle is unlikely to get ABS as the Estrella 250 also does not get the safety feature.
