General Comments

I have had an awful lot of bikes from cruisers to sports, but this Kawasaki W650 ticks all the boxes for me. It beautiful to look at and a real fun machine to ride on the Welsh twisty A-roads, doing 50-60 mph. I regularly get 80 mpg which is a great bonus nowadays. I like the low down grunt, feel and sound of my unmolested standard bike, the pea-shooters make a lovely burble. The bike is so light and corners superbly. I tend to change bikes often but i won't be parting with this one, definately a future classic. Gear driven cams too, so these bikes are capable of 100,000 miles plus. So, so good. Highly recommended!!!
