I've been looking for a standard cruiser like the Triumph Bonneville for a long time. After test riding a couple Triumphs I realized they just weren't right for me. I was looking for a specific riding experience that was best summed up for me by Fuzzy Biker of the YouTube channel "Forgotten Motorcycles" as a Zen experience.

He found that experience with his Royal Enfield Classic 350 motorcycle and I was leaning heavily in that direction myself. But through a chain of coincidence I found myself presented with the opportunity to buy a 2001 Kawasaki W650. It's a retro styled motorcycle based on a 1960s Triumph Bonneville.

One test ride and I found what I was looking for. I didn't need to look any further. The W650 checked all the boxes for me simplicity, styling, performance, and that hard to describe Zen experience.
