Kawasaki w650 outfit

[Magwa]

Well
I considered going for an outfit as my riding days are done

After 10mins.......
It's not for me !
Scary as ....

Its my near nieghbours outfit
Nope
It's cars for me now

 

[Robbi]

Don't give up... They are scary as getout when you first start but once you get used to it they can be a riot of fun. .

Have you thought about a trike?I've never had one but if you're having trouble riding a bike it might be a good option.I quite fancied a Can -Am Spyder after looking at them in a dealers in Eersel in the Netherlands but have absolutely no-where to keep it.

Good luck

I like the look of that combination, always had a soft spot for the w650 Kawasakis.

Wales and Grommit?????

 

[Magwa]

Well
As an outfit , even the Kawasaki w650 costs more than a classic Porsche boxster. It's a no contest really.
I don't like the handling,
I don't like the no reverse
I've had a Morgan three wheel REPLICA JZR in the past
So having exhausted the alternative 3 wheels it a no from me !
I need power steering, power brakes, power clutch
So classic cars only from now on
Even that will need to be automatic gear box soon
Dooh

All your powered item requirements and auto are available on the CanAms, if you don't want a car option.

Looking at those pics again (admiring the w650) those front forks look like they're fully compressed - that can't help, can it? (I know zero about sidecar set-up).

Can am is just weird also very expensive £ for what it is
Not my style at all, but cheers

 

[Magwa]

I prefer the Morgan look
Been there done that !
Even this JZR would be £15,000 plus now
I sold it years ago

 

[Magwa]

As an " And finally"
My neighbour has returned the outfit to the dealership he purchased it from.
He was so unimpressed and under the distance purchase rules he rejected it !

Why.?

 

[Magwa]

Why.?

I have no idea !
But
He's very particular ( bordering OCD) about his bikes.
But A 2003 bike with 4000miles on the clock tells you something

 

[Magwa]

Fast forward to 2024
I bought this

 

[timeandtide]

Lovely!
Hope it works out for you!

 

[Bem]

You naughty man!
Have good fun with that thing.

Similar to a trike then? Outfits (motorbike and side car) do look good though whereas trikes…

 

[Magwa]

I've test ridden the " contraption" ......it may be a short lived thing.
Fun ,yes
But
I think that my last chance at two ( plus one) wheels due to my PD will result in a sale of the outfit next spring
When it will be fully serviced and with a fresh MOT
For now I'm putting it to bed for the winter on its ctek in it's nice warm garage

Where as stating the bleedin’ obvious has so many advantages.
