Spoke to the head honcho at Mityon Kawasaki on Saturday and asked him when they might get the W800 ...he said they have loads of enquiries about the W800 from thais and Farangs and could sell many ,he hoped it would be available Mid year from Kawasaki but they have not yet issued any availability for the Model in thailand he also reckoned it would sell for about the same as the 900 Vulcan which would make it a big seller as The Triumph Bonnie is much pricier.
Meanwhile for those who cant wait good W650s are coming in from Japan regularly at between 150,000 no book or 230,000 with book in virtually mint condition.
