Title: W-650
Post by MMRanch on 08/06/21 at 15:48:37

OK GUYS HERE IT IS !

Dave has found me a Himalaya and I can only have 3 bikes ... ::)

Truth be told :

My teenager desire for a Triumph 650 has been satisficed . Kawasaki did better that Triumph did on this one.
The W650 has 1mm larger bore and 1mm longer stroke than the 1960's Triumphs did. Its still a under-bore motor so its really mild mannered till it gets up to about 5K rpm then ... up to redline 7.5k :o. Its a 4 valve/cylinder shim adjusted valves rated at 50HP. and about 5k they seem to all be working together just fine ! ;)

NOW , the question might come to mind ... Why sell it ?
Well , I rescued it from a shed , and I like to tinker with bikes too . ::)
As it turns out ... the W-650 and the V-7II Moto Guzzi are both made for the same thing.
Both are 50HP / 400 pound fun bikes.

So , I've got two bikes that do the same thing .
And
I don't have a street legal dirt bike . So , I need to sell "KATE" the W-650.

All the mods I've done are reversible and all the original equipment goes with it.
Its got 18k miles on it and runs great , I've been riding it daily all summer.
It gets 55 to 65 mpg the way I drive.
It feels more like a "BIKE" than the Guzzi does , but the wife likes the Corbin on the Guzzi ... so ... Guzzi stays and Kate goes . :-/

Please ask any questions ya might have . I plan to take Kate to our Arkansas trip unless I sell it first ?

I see it's been months since you posted this moto for sale. I'm assuming it's no longer in your possession. However if it is...how much and where are you. I've wanted a W-650 for a long time now.

Thanks for the reply in advance. If it's easier for you...my email is: eayers007@gmail.com.
