W650 Kawasaki

Kawasaki introduced the W650 in Japan in 1999 and was sold in the US for only two years. 2000. and 2001. Though uncommon in the US the W650 has a near cult following worldwide. I absolutely love the W650 . I'm 68 years old. have owned many. many motorcycles. the W650 is by far my favorite MC of all time. The W650 is way cooler than a Harley. nbsp; it's lighter. smoother. more fun to ride. looks better. brakes work better. shifts better. no leaks. and not everyone has one. If I'm out riding. and stop at a restaurant for bike night. there might be 80 to 100 Harleys in the parking lot. people flock to the W650 to ask questions and admire how cool it looks. W's are a blast to ride. light. great handling. go down the interstate at 65 mph or cruse that back roads. The bike is completely stock. factory original. and in great condition. Note the factory break in sticker on the tack. ( very rare to still have break in decal on tack). nbsp;also factory sticker on swing arm. There is one minor scuff on the tank. nbsp; ( tank in not dinted. only paint scuff. and can not rub out) A good body paint shop could touch up so that in would not be noticeable at all. The scuff is very. very small. as you can see in Pic. about the size of a pencil eraser. Where can you buy a bike. nbsp; ( for $6. 00) . hat is fun to ride. neat looking. dependable. unique and sure to increase in value? There are many examples of limited edition bikes and cars that continue to increase in value BECASUE: A. nbsp; They are cool. and unique. B. Limited i. e. NO MORE Good example: Honda GB 500 Honda made them in 1989 and 1990. limited production. Honda dealers were selling the GB for $3400 in 1990. Last month a Honda GB 500 sold for $11. 00 at the motorcycle auction in Las Vegas. Another example is a car. nbsp; an AC Cobra. nbsp; sold new for about $5. 00. nbsp; now a nice AC Cobra is worth about $750. 00. If someone keeps this W650 nice. rides it and enjoys. ( not only will you enjoy owning and riding it ) it is sure to increase in value. Another example: Right now a real nice 1966 or 67 Triumph Bonneville will sell for $12. 00 or more. ( They sold new for $1195) Great looking. but the problem is. you can't ride them. they just are not dependable. leak oil. lights don't work. vibrate etc. The W's you can ride. nbsp; have confidence in the dependability and will increase in value while you enjoy ownership. There are W650's for less money. there's a lot of junk out there. bikes that are misrepresented. bikes that have been altered. etc. I've purchased a few bikes that the seller said bike was like new. and mint. Boy. did I ever get some surprises. I'm extremely meticulous. and when I represent a bike. it is exactly what I say it is. and in most cases better than my description. OK. why am I selling? I've owned a number of W650's and presently own two. ( one with 300 miles on it. and this one for sale). I thought I would buy this W and ride it. keep miles off the 300 mile W. I also have two residences. nbsp; one in Ohio and one in Fl. I thought I would keep one W650 in Fl. and one in Ohio. Well. wife wasn't too happy with me purchasing another motorcycle. nbsp; I have way too many toys. not enough time or space. I'm just going to start riding the Maroon tank W. Hell if I put 500 miles a year on it. in ten years. nbsp; I'll be 78 and the bike will still only have 5400 miles on it. I will include a picture of my maroon tank W. ( it's is a 2000. with 300 miles on it. ( NOT FOR SALE ) I bought tank from Japan. it's off a later model Japanese W 650 . nbsp; I also put Kawasaki W650 low bars on. ( the bars are for W650's that were sold in Europe. they are stock Kawasaki bars)Bike is for sale locally. therefore I reserve the right to end auction at any time.
