I love the R-E 650s, but I've seen them both in person, and while it pains me to say it, yeah, the Kawi justifies the $3K price difference. It's absolutely gorgeous, and everything about it screams "premium".

I just sold mine. Great bike BUT the bars ARE too low. Kawasaki quoted $1800 plus labor for higher bars, longer cables, electricals etc. If you have ANY doubts about them being too low go for the 2020 road version. Would be nice if they added a 6 speed box too. Seriously with the low bars most older chaps are looking at 1-2 hours only of comfortable riding. It's a real shame Kawasaki did not use components that could be more easily and cheaply swapped out.

Mike Kennedy - No, it's a real shame you didn't buy the W800 Street version. Nice comfy upright riding position. That's what this old fogey bought and I love it! Also, check out the W800 Classic model with mid height bars. Beautiful looking bike.

@daveco12705 жыл бұрын
I like the looks of this bike a lot but wish it had slightly different handlebars. I don't mind being leaned a little forward, but those bars seem really low and pushed forward. For the price I think a new bonnie is a better bet for just a little more dough. I've ridden the new Bonneville and the new Royal Enfield 650. I need to check out the Ducati scrambler cafe and the Moto Guzzi V7 before I decide on a new bike. I'll probably try this Kawasaki out as well. I think they have these over at Coleman Powersports in the DC area. Why did you go all the way out to Vally Cycles? Or do you live out that way?
