I've owned a Kawasaki w650 for about 3 years now and let me tell you that who ever ends up buying this bike sure got some awesome miles ahead. You get the awesome British look and sound without the vibrations and breakdowns. ;)
Enough vibrations
I like how Kawasaki replicates vintage Bikes! I have a 1999 Drifter 1500 and love it. Always wanted a Triump 650 back when I was a Kid. Kawasaki made it much better!
The early Kawasaki 650 twins were a replica of the bsa a10
Were made under licence, perhaps Edward Turner did acknowledge that the Japanese involved the A10 remarkably.
Easily one of the best looking bikes made in the last 40 years!
Kawasaki w650 owner here. IT is a really easy bike to ride. Perfect for first bike or to offer to your lady. It is really a docile bike, that bites when you rev it. :) In love with it.
Is it good for short riders like 5'3 person?
@@totalrise1811 If my conversion rates are OK I am 5'7 (174cm) and ride it with both feet on the ground when stopped. It's a heavy motorcycle when stopped, but it is all a matter of getting used to it. The original suspension is on the plush side, so it also helps.
Is it a reliable bike? I live in Canada and they’re fairly rare here, so I don’t want to get something that I might have to wait months on end for parts for
@@Spartansrule118 Kawasaki still has all parts available here in Europe, and the w650 shares a load of parts with the still on sale w800. So I would say you are pretty safe...
@ cheers
Great bikes ,better than a triumph,and I'm English 🤣
The Kawasaki W1 was a replica of the BSA A10, not the Triumph Bonneville.
Yep, for sure. But those time triumph and bsa already was one company
@@caferacer3539 But the A10 BSA and the Triumph Bonneville were completely different motorcycles.
A very nice motorcycle! I've owned the same for 3 years. Sit on it and drive. I always have a smile on my face😊😊😊👌🏻
The "bevel driven cramshaft" calls in german "Königswelle". Same like translate "King" (König..) and "shaft" (..welle)😉
Who wouldn’t fall in love with this one?
She’s beautiful.
God Bless America‼️❤️🇺🇸🔄
Beautiful Cafe Racer you guys got the best bikes hands down I can't wait to visit the museum again kap
God bless America 🇺🇸
The original W or meguro were based on the BSA A10.
People often compare them to the Triumph Bonneville. OHC driven by shafts were used on the Jawa OHC 500 of the late 40's and 50's.
Just an awesome bike that will last a lifetime.
That's one of the best retro looking machines I've ever see.from the thumbnail I thought maybe a 66 bsa or triumph.ya got me,never seen one of these before.nice!!
She did a good job on the paint scheme design ! Awesome vintage look there! Giving me an idea for a SV-650 cafe racer im about to build!
love the paint n the bullet cowl theres that guy in the background talking again love ya jr lol
These types of bikes really appeal to me. That's why I bought the street twin.
I love bevel driven camshaft engine. Butter smoothie engine ♥️
Are they harder to maintain?
What’s up sr.
Jr doesn’t know how lucky he is. You guys live my dream.. if there’s ever a job opening at the museum I would kill to work for you guys. God bless America
Beautiful classic looking motorcycle. I would ride it to ACE Café in Orlando. Good stuff guy's!
What a GREAT motorcycle sound!!
Beautiful bike! A true classic 👍
GET EM KAPLAN AMERICA
Raaahwsaaawl saiid the big Wolf - Mee Too!!
Beautifully kept machine.... Love the bikini fairing
Us too!
Ken u r they greatest
👍for the bike
Cafe racer? Stock bars, stock footpeg location, upright seating position? I do love that fairing, which one is it? By the way, Triumphs came with Amal carbs, not Bings- that's a carb for BMW's.
Its a trials bike!
Love these!
Kawasaki W1 was based on the BSA A10, not Triumph Bonneville.
The W650 has the same frame as an A10
lol thats why brits drink warm beer, lucas made refridgerators too lmao.
How much did this bike sell for, assuming its been sold? I bought one several years ago for 5k, and still enjoying it.
What throttle lock he used? It's not stock, it's an aftermarket
Are those aftermarket blinkers?
Yes, the originals are quite large compared to these aftermarket ones
I rode a 883 to Rio
Bing-carbs are great, all my old air-head BMW's had them. You are thinking of the old/shit british 'Amal's'....... Dave, NZ
He'll ge ✌️✌️
Going for a coffee Ken?
BON- uh- ville
Apparently translates to good city like that
YES a Ducati,Bonneville,Kawasaki, - Clone! But a great bike the W650!!
