I bought one when they first came out and loved it. As I had been away from bikes for about 12 years due to illness and other personal reasons I felt a 650 twin would suit my needs and I wasn't disapointed. The little Kawasaki W650 was a fantastic bike and I kept mine for 3 years. now over 10 years later and several bikes later I still wish I had my W650. I own a 07 Bonneville which I love to bits and having fitted some loud pipes to it it sounds like a Bonnie should but somehow it still doesn't have that old twin feel my W650 had. Maybe if I see a good one up for sale some time I'll get me another one.
