Now I'd prefer a larger displacement (900 at least) no doubt but for daily runner around town, to work etc... would be perfect....

Nice lines....

Kawasaki tried selling the W650 in the US for a couple of years to a lukewarm reception IIRC. It's a pity that Americans won't buy standard bikes any more. We miss out on some of the coolest models because of market research.

I like it, but I wonder how many folks under the age of 45 would even give it a second look?

Nice Bike !

Bevel drive and fuel injection, thats probably a first for that combo of features. It would be cool if they could come up with some type of front drum brake that was equal to the single disc, thats the only part that looks out of place, even the tires have a retro tread pattern.
