1999 Kawasaki W650
Elegance with a little attitude. A fully reworked W650 - Ohlins and Rizoma goodies; reworked original seat and fenders; custom 2-1 exhaust with reverse cone mega; KTM offroad footpegs, Beringer radial Aerotec braking; custom machined bar ends, gear shifter and kick start, and so much more. Completely reworked, nut and bolt from the ground up. The spec list is huge. Add a classic paint scheme, custom graphics and a set of ridiculous knobblies and you end up with a supermodel wearing a pair of scuffed DM’s - just our cup of tea….
