    DUDE! It actually has an external cam drive tower a'la the old Norton singles!

    Plus, it's technologically evolved unlike the current vertical-twin offerings from Hinckley (the "new" Triumphs.)

    I got $5 that says that ONLY you rat bastard Ozzies* (and maybe some select other parts of the world) will get it though. They won't sell it here, betcha.

    *no offense meant

    Fitz is drooling too. Dammit.

    I finally found a new bike I like haha

    I guess Kawasaki might be realizing that they need to go a more traditional route finally.

    I just hope it comes to the US. I missed on the W650. I won't miss out this time. And I love the green! Kawasaki are you listening?

    FWIW.
    If you are serious about wanting this bike contact Kawasaki and politely ask them to bring it here so you can purchase. It worked with the FJR and it can work with the W800. Here is the contact link:

    No drama's, fitz here in Oz bastard is what you call your mates!
    And it is a proper bike but I think that might be a generational thing.

    c'mon Schooter, pay attention.

    FJR1300=big overblown tupperware clad touring bike, even comes in an automatic.

    You're thinking of the XJR1300 the bike we all want but they won't bring here.

    YES IT IS.

    Did you watch the video? I see a base gasket leak waiting to happen, and all over the desk, no less? No thanks.

    At least it shifts the right (wrong) direction.
