Hi,
Found out the other day that Kawasaki have cesed production of the W650 classic (retro) twin. I was told if you have one - don't sell it as they will fast become a collector's item.
Kinda sad - huh

In case anyone is interested Energy Honda have what appears at a glance to be a minter with I think 4,000Ks on the clock.
I think they are planning on selling that one.

It's still listed as a current model on the Japanese market website - along with the W400 (never actually seen one of those, they look quite nice).
Discontinued last year in the USA.
So maybe they are revertign to Japanese domestic market only, which was the original intention. japs are hot on retro.
C'mon lets ride....
Lil ol NZ usually gets all the leftovers. Goody. Can't wait. That's how I got Gerty 21 years ago.
Yeah Ixion those W400s look neat.
C'mon lets ride....
Funny you mention the CX500. Saw a minter one today.

Nice retro bike but your stretching it to say its going to be instantly collectible. Selling yours, huh!

They are collectible now,a limited supply will make them hold their price.They won't hit rock bottom give away prices like other collectible bikes do.A legend in it's own lifetime does has advantages.

I thought it was a copy of a Kawasaki from the Sixties...

No it was just marketed as such, big difference. Looks more like an old bonnie than the new bonnie does.

The "Kawasaki" from the sixties was a Megura, which was a copy of a BSA A10.

Maybe I better buy another one now, I've run up 6500 k's since new year, and I wanna get the missus onto one when she gets past her restricted
'tis life Jim, but not as we know it
Never, never give in.
