Not every day you see motorcycles used by Economists.... http://www.bloomberg.com/video/66304918/
I think the new Commando 961 is a stunning piece of kit, but the price is likely to be in the vicinity of $40K by the time we see them in NZ. OTOH, this new Kawasaki W800 retro looks quite cool, and is likely to be about a third of the 961's price:

That Norton sounded and looked very nice doing the wheels stand, I jus remebered I could watch it, so used to dialup
When dd Kwaka make those Retro 650's? Is that 800 the same sort of thing? Yeah Jase, the W800 is a re-release of the W650 which stopped production a few years ago. It's had a few tweaks including the capacity hike & fresh graphics, and now has fuel injection and 60hp instead of the W650's 49hp. Here's another view:
I went to see a Beatles triubute band once....as good as they were, they were however not the Beatles...
the abba triubite however the was ok (I was getting paid to watch them ) and the gilrs where rather easy to watch
Beatles tribute band, you say? Fair point perhaps, but the W650 was a pleasant enough bike in it's own right, with comfortable riding position, good handling and brakes. Reliability was a given, obviously. The only complaint was it's lack of power, which made it quite boring and uninspiring. The W800, with it's 20% extra mumbo should prove to be a more entertaining proposition, and one i'd personally consider.
while we're on the bends (pun intended) i went to see acdc 30yrs on and they performed as ever. i like the above kwaks. a lot.
Yes I saw the new 800cc (W800?) at Puke in a really nice classy green with smoke pearl and it looked absolutley beautiful. A standard of finish higher than the Bonneville range IMHO
i went to see acdc 30yrs on and they performed as ever Funny how 30 years ago they were concidered crap.... all the opposition has since retired of died. I saw them twice.... I liked Maiden better.

Those bastards rationing your meds in the rest home now Jason? Bon Scott died 30 years ago but I'm sure you remember it like yesterday even though you can't remember what you did yesterday I really liked the first album with Brian (none after that though) Back in Black is a real classic album "She was a fast machine, she kept her loving clean, she was the best damn woman that I ever seen, she had sighty sighs, telling me no lies, and knocking me out with those American thighs" Yeah Baby!!
For some reason I'm real keen on this one.... Saw the W800 on sunday too,nice bike.My choice over a Bonnie,this from a die soft Triumph fan.
"She had me fighing for air, she told me to come, but I was already there" Pre Viagra days...
