I’m having the same experiences. The W650 gets more attention than any of the other machines I ride. And since it’s so old most of the younger riders think it is a Triumph until I point to the Kawasaki name.

Fun to ride!

The W650 is definitely a reliable improvement over the Triumph it was honoring. And now 24 years later the bike still runs like a champ.

It’s a good tool to have. I use them often!

A friend suggested that I try making a list of things for which I am grateful. He said it helps him see things aren’t the mess he may think. On my list is the beauty that abounds around me.

I’m glad you find some use in the things I share.

Riding definitely helps in the short-term. Provides enough hope to tackle the work involved to be more tranquil in the long-term. A fine journey.
