Good Points

Is there any british bike owners say !. I have a few.
The rush of riders adrenerling of a relible retro 1960 look, sound and feel like machine on increasing throttle cannot be egnored or compared to a half bent flat tank rider with the wine of a modern machine. This a bike of this period ,manufactered to look like, feel like, sound like a 40+ old bike, but twice as reliable and no dripping oil !.Don`t for -get it also starts first time on a battery electric start or even on a flat battery by it kick start.


Bad Points

Is there any!. I have two. THe poor attention to all frame joints is a disapointment also rusting underside of the chrome mudgards are a let down.I have heard tales of fitting heavy springs to front and rear help in cornering and braking. I know its soft, but I like the soft feel and its not a problem to loaded machine either,it.


General Comments

Now a proud owner of a Kawasaki W650 650cc in many ways including ownership of a red/cream modle for past 3 yrs, its now7 yrs old as purchased secondhand
I have mounted many new manufacturers extras to it for my pleasure all of which fitted perfectly and been a boon to enable its use for conveying camping equipment without any problems of diminished performance in any way.
Its reliability comfort and sheer pleasure it gives me to ride in my later years brings a smile to my face from the moment I mount , to the moment i dismount.
I reccomend it to all that see it, here it and want it.
The nostalager immage it recreates of the 1960 time capsul of a simular machines of that time makes any 60`s man of the time craves to young and single once more.
