You said it was a bit small for riders your size. How tall are you? Love the bike but I am 6'2" (188) - too big for a Bonneville

.

@Baggmanau Fraser here is a little taller at 6'3"

I wish they sold these in the US.

Nice! but I prefer my Triumph T100 Bonnie.

i would like to see a tank rack on it ,like the old 60,s triumph,set it off nicely.

@OBXmp9 To all those who'd like to see this bike sold in the US (and the rest of North America for that matter): Contact Kawasaki and tell them you want this bike to come to the 'States ASAP. I think with the lame response that the W650 received a decade ago, they're reluctant to bring this bike here. If there's enough interest and people are serious, it COULD come here. My suggestion is that they bring it here and price it no higher than the high $7g's.

And no electrical problems like the old British bikes is a definite plus.

Kawasaki makes the best parallel-twins. They are so reliable! My 650R's parallel twin gave me no problems in the time I had owned it.

I love this bike. I got it several months ago and it's a pleasure to ride. It does require a lot of maintenance to keep the chrome shiny! Highly recommended!

[Spicypapayas]

Love the looks but you know if they bring it to the USA, it will be overpriced and then they will complain it didnt sell. Seen it too many times.

Der "Sound " des Moppis ist so geil, wie die Zähne von dem tester!

Muahahaha!!!!
