@cinemasfiu I'd sure like to see it come to the 'States!

@DrBrodski Nice one. Very well put. I am not knocking the Kawasaki in all honesty. Even Triumph make a fair few bikes in Thailand now and many components are made (brakes) in Japan clocks (Taiwan) etc etc etc. The Japanese are great copyists IMHO.

@casperdog777 Agreed that a Bonneville has more street cred, but this is a reincarnation of Kawasaki's own W1 from the 60's and it's based on on a BSA. Both Triumph ans Kawasaki are using EFI these days, so the the die-hard fans that are looking for the "real-thing" should buy a 30 year old thumper and adjust the carbs each weekend whilst listening to "Dark-side of the Moon" on vinyl. Meanwhile those of us that appreciate timeless design and reliability will be out riding.

Buy the REAL deal a Triumph motorcycle is the real thing not just a bland Jap copy IMHO !

I signed a petition to bring back the W650 a year or two ago. Great job Kawasaki.
