I like the Triumph a lot, but it looks huge compared to the Kawasaki.

To me, the very trim appearance is a part of the attraction of the Kawasaki.

All the new Triumphs look much larger than the classic Triumphs of before.

A 1960s Bonneville looks every bit as slim as the W series ever looked.

But now all the new generation Triumphs look "fat" to me.

Especially when compared any of the W series Kawasakis.

Looks like the OP found a very nice bike. I am Kawasaki Green with envy.

dagling, for some reason, your comparison story link is not working on my computer, but I found a similar story:

Agreed. The 650 has the perfect size and retro style.

Well, fortunately so, we all have different tastes. I've always liked the classic motorcycles and Kawasaki W650 appears to be very attractive to me.

We all have to buy what we want, not what others think you should buy. Personally I do not care about what people are running, only it has two wheels and makes the owner happy.

We are all brothers who love motorcycles, whether it be a Harley or a Honda Click ...
