Now, this a 2000 W650. If you're looking at this ad, you probably know what they are. This is one of Kawasaki's best models in the world. They sell very well in Canada and Europe. Unfortunately, Kawasaki only brought them to the States for 2 years. If you can find one now, they are usually pretty ragged out or have been chopped up. There are two on eBay right now that don't even come close to comparing to this bike.

Some specifics:

I am the second owner of this bike and here is the story the original owner gave me. He bought this bike new and then gave it to his friend who owns a Triumph dealership and told him to make it into a Triumph. As you can see by the pictures, he did a great job!! He then parked the bike in his home office. He ran it periodically to keep everything fresh. After many years of this, his wife told him to either start riding it or sell it. I bought it from him in 2008 with 850 miles on it and it has been garage kept ever since. As it is one of several bikes I own, it has not been ridden much. Hence the 1494 miles on it!! I realize the picture shows 1391, but I have added some since the picture for the original ad was taken. I recently replaced the battery and tires on the bike. Not because they needed it, but because I knew I was going to sell it and would not sell a bike with old tires on it. Their tread was exactly what you would expect from 1300 miles and they were not dry rot but, old tires are just not safe and I wouldn't sell it to someone with them still on there.

As you can see by the pictures, I am also including a Corbin seat and backrest which cost me about $600.00. Also included is an original handlebar so you can return it to stock very easily. 2 oil filters and a manual will also be included. This bike is not new, is being sold as-is and it's not perfect but, it's about as close as you're going to find these days. The word I would use to describe it would be Fantastic. Apparently the judges at the 9th Annual Mid-Atlantic International Motorcycle Show thought so too. They awarded it 1st Place in it's Special Interest Class. Happy bidding and thanks for looking.
