    W650 Cafe Racer

    Newly finished Cafe Racer. Has won prize of merit in the 2012 Shed 5 Biker Build Off competition.
    I bought bike stock off a guy who had it from 3000kms and only sold to go to Dubai. Impeccable service history.
    Custom paint in Triumph blue with logo borrowed from Discovery Channel series called "Cafe Racer". When that TV series plays here in NZ, these bikes will be wanted as hell!
    Finished in satin to give old skool look.
    This bike gets attention wherever you go. Nobody has guessed it is a Kawasaki. All the benefits of a late model bike with the cool look of a retro racer. No leaks, electric start, sounds cool.
    After market exhaust BSA style
    Lowered at rear to eliminate need for rear fender.
    Leather seat and tank strap. Antique'd to look retro. Custom made parts - seat used original pan so all clips into place perfectly with original key lock system.
    Foot pegs moved up and back slightly to give Cafe Racer feel.
    Dual filament die cast blinkers
    Cat eye tail light
    Front guard lowered & re-radiused, powder coated with fin made from billet aluminium compete with threads. Greyhound logo can stay or be changed for whatever you want - Your company logo???
    Near new Michelin tyres
    Good battery - been on battery tender - bike starts at touch of button.
    Stock speedo and tacho, just lowered a bit to smooth out the lines of the bike.
    Italian hand grips and billet alloy drop mirrors.
    These bikes have a cult following in any form so don't seem to devalue like other models.
    These bikes are known as a W650 but are in fact 675cc in standard form.

    Cool looking bike, hope the sale goes well.

    I have one myself. It's pretty standard except for clubman bars, triumph screen and debaffled exhaust.
    I look forward to seeing the TV programme you mentioned.

    You should mention that riding one of these puts a big grin on your face

    Cheers
