Posts: 2683 Rochester, NY Gender:	new W800 08/07/19 at 09:59:56 I'm not crazy about the cafe styled version that Kawasaki has been selling here for a couple of years, but I really like the looks of this: https://www.cycleworld.com/kawasaki-prepping-new-w800-model-for-2020/

There is a comparison between the W 800 -vs- the RE 650 . You should read the article before buying either on of them . Apparently there is about $3,500 difference in price too. I understand they are both desirable bikes !

The proposed "classic" look is is far more appealing to me. The good news is that I am currently "satiated" with the bikes I currently own, and I am not looking to buy anything!

RE wins this "shootout" for me. I don't even need to read the article to know that. Edit: Okay I read the article and ralize that there is a new version of the W800 that will look more like the original W650. That's a good thing, but they are still pricey.
