One of our local Jap bikes dealers had the blue and silver W650 on his showroom floor for over 3 1/2 years and it finally sold this past spring. Nice looking bike and they sold for cheap money. Now I see they are getting popular. I've even known of people buying these and re-badging them as a Triumph, removing all hints of Kaw markings. To the uninitiated I'm sure they would pass. Nice looking but not a substitute for the real thing. Joe
