2000 Kawasaki W650 $4500
« on: May 30, 2017, 08:24:46 AM »
A friend of mine has a super nice 2000 Kawasaki W650 that he is going to sell.   If you guys know of anyone that might be interested, please let me know.

9000 miles.  Runs like a champ.  Has always been stored inside.  It's a good one - all original.  No changes.  I believe he is looking to get $4500

Those are decent, mini-Triumphs.  Not terribly powerful, but much more reliable than the OLDER pre-resurrection Triumphs.

That was the going rate around here for them but now they seem to be jumping in price. Seems like when one pops up they're asking $6000ish.

This is pretty cool:

https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/mcy/6156093105.html

Rare Vintage 1967 Kawasaki W1 650cc

Perfect classic project for antique collector. Rarely seen 1967 Kawasaki W1E 650 twin. Similar to BSA 650 but better engineered. In storage past 28 years. Needs restoration but worth the effort. Original condition and details as in the photos. 4 stroke, twin cylinder, single carburetor model. Bike has Washington State Title and an original Service Manual. Located 5 miles North of Blaine Washington in Surrey, B.C. (120 miles north of Seattle) $3,500 USD.

Well then... this one looks like a bargain.   Somebody come take it away before I have to do something silly.

Not a bad price, but you should be able to pick up a low mileage Bonneville for about $5K or lower.
