Yes folks, the wallet has been dusted off and notes have been removed and exchanged, but for what I here you ask. Well the old man's getting older and was not comfortable on the GSR600 and was quite frankly looking more and more dodgy riding it, but instead of him hanging up the jacket I enquired as to his concerns and deduced a more user friendly less powerful bike with a lower seat height was required and so today I bought this.... A 2012 Kawasaki W800 in a rather nice green, needs a bit of a polish, but other than that all good and only 8k miles on it, and I think a very good looking modern classic type thing, it'll go well parked next to the Super dream 🙂 A thorough review will follow when we get it.

Well done TGHLB , I do think the styling of the W650 and W800 are spot on. Lovely bike 👌

You are forgiven Sir Pete, full titles are only required in the great hall, but then are excused after a few rounds, at which point brethren call me what they want, and frequently do 😁

liking the new bike, is it not a bit too fast in green though?

liking the new bike, is it not a bit too fast in green though? Only due to the silver accents….
