WAKAN motorcycle company was founded in 2012 with the vision of producing high-performance, technology-driven motorcycles. They strive to offer unique riding experiences for all types of riders, from weekend warriors to competitive racers.
The company was initially focused on producing premium custom-built machines, but have since expanded their offerings to include a line of modern, technologically advanced production bikes as well.
The company’s past focused on creating a unique riding experience and building a custom-bike culture, while the present is focused on producing technologically advanced production bikes with a keen eye towards riders’ needs.
The future vision for WAKAN motorcycles is to continue pushing the boundaries of performance, design and technology. They plan to continuously and consistently innovate, provide superior customer service, and create the most responsive motorcycles and the best riding experience possible.
The reliability of current and past WAKAN motorcycles is largely dependant on the individual bike. However, as a general rule, WAKAN motorcycles have been known to provide excellent reliability and performance over their lifetime. WAKAN has a solid reputation for using quality components, and the company’s research and development team regularly tests and improves their products to ensure the highest levels of quality.
The maintenance cost of WAKAN motorcycles depends on the type of motorcycle that you own as well as the type of services that you require. Generally speaking, the cost for service and maintenance of both WAKAN's street motorcycles and off-road motorcycles can range from $100 - $400, depending on the complexity of the service and the parts that need to be replaced.
Common mechanical problems with WAKAN motorcycles include engine problems such as valve float, cylinder head problems, and carburetor issues. Other common problems include leaking fuel lines, faulty electrical systems, and worn-out brakes and clutches. These types of problems are common to all motorcycles, but can be particularly problematic with a WAKAN due to their vintage design and lack of available parts.
