That sucks. The old w650s are so popular here you never see them change hands. This looked far nicer

Same with liter bikes......The ZX9R was always known as the "couch" compared to the others.

I wasn't talking about the 6. Even though it fit the bill when it became the zzr. I was talking about the 250, the 500, the connie, the voyager, the klr and all the other stuff they produced virtually unchanged for years. Ill be sure to include pictures for you next time
