Like any other awesome bike that goes to Europe first, betcha it'll never make it across the ocean or probably only be available for two years on a limited production run. That's what happened to the W650. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReconRat Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 (edited) I like it. And I could get interested, but it weighs more than a 919.W800 appears to be about 70hp, 476 lbs, and 773cc. It's closer to being a 750.sometimes they round the cc up, and sometimes down.

RFM Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Or just get a Triumph... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 (edited) You know, I really do like Bonnevilles. And metric Big4 Bonnies are basically better.So I'd like to see a W800 with carbon parts to lighten it up, and scrambler high pipes.Having said that, here's a German Clubman conversion that got introduced only two hours after the W800.LSL Clubman W 800 TRhttp://bikeexif.exifmedia.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/kawasaki-w800-custom.jpgedit: oops, dang they got aftermarket stuff in Europe....This is also already out for the W800:unknown source,found on http://zx6r.net/motorcycle-talk/ Edited December 28, 2010 by ReconRat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
