presentation of the W 800 Black Edition 2015
the W 800 continues to be available in a more distinctive edition, but with a new name. It's no longer the Spéciale, but the Black Edition.
The formula remains the same, as it's all about style. No special equipment, inverted forks or racing parts, just a new color scheme. The 2015 color is less striking than the black and gold of the first Special Edition, but has a seductive patina. From the tip of the forks to the bottom of the exhausts, the machine is cloaked in deep black. Only a few chrome parts escape the dark cloak that covers most of the machine. The spoked wheels are also black. The bevel gearing, the polished cylinder head fins, the elegant "Black Edition" calligraphy, etc. are all there for the taking.
this color is available for a few euros more than the standard W 800. After that, all that's left to do is stroll along to the playful rhythm of the parallel-twin's 48 horsepower. No sport, no brutality, no angst, just charm and a bit of fun.
