Default Re: Kawasaki W800 is coming back

Hmmm. Paint aside (just horrid) it is a nice bike that's trying too hard. Kwakasaki are putting it up against the Triumph Street Cup by the looks of it instead of the Street Twin which is where it used to be pre-termination which is a bit of a step up and possibly too far. The W800 had a cult following and when it was dropped Triumph were happy to take the disappointed potential buyers with the T100 and Street Twin from their recently revamped "Modern Classic" range. If they'd stuck to their roots they'd sell a bunch I reckon if the price was right, especially as it's still an air cooled lump which Triumph cannot count on any more.
