This Perfect City Commuter Will Cost You Just $3,000. Yes, It's A Motorcycle

Depending on where you work, play, go to school, and just live in the world, your feelings on small-displacement motorcycles will vary. Me, I love them; not just because I'm a short rider, but because they tend to attract riders who don't feel like they need to prove anything. A chiller subset of riders, if you will; those who are out to both have two-wheeled fun and also express themselves, more than anything else.

How practical a given small-displacement motorcycle will be, such as this 2026 Kawasaki W175 LTD, depends entirely on where and how you plan to ride. If you want to munch a bazillion miles and do a lot of highway riding, this clearly isn't the bike for you. But if you're only planning to ride in a congested urban area, or perhaps on a sprawling college campus, then the W175 LTD can open up a literal world of possibilities for your personal transportation needs.
