I thinnk it's a Beta Rev-3. It's a Trials bike and the manouvers he is performing are typical of indoor observed Trials but he's applying them to a freestyle environment. Notice the absence of any

Ruari, Thank you so much!!! I certainly will post pic's once I'm done with it. It is my first big bike. I'm a german immigrant in the US and I used to ride in Germany small bikes (Zndapp and Kreidler

Thanks, Bill. I was happy until I found I don't meet current standards. But then, I don't anyway, so why worry? I'll look for these and do some learning, & try not to obsess. Ruari

Anita: I can't really tell you about other bikes, the W650 is my first (at least my first in 30 years). But, I hear that like me, most have to get used to a firm flip up into second gear, or it may

Dennis, Thanks!!! Yeah he knows about that. We are stoked about the ride it'll be my first long ride. Going from LA to Monterey, its a great ride along Big Sur. He rides a 04 Triumph Thruxton. Of

Okie dokie, have fun on your run. Oh, even if hubby finds the sprocket as ok, there may be a fair amount of old chain lube and road grit built up in the cavity. Turns into something like hard

Biff Yeah, I'm a fan of that one. The August Cycle World did a write up on it, really liked it. Recommended reading if the bike peaks your interest. Detuned 650R, nice power curve. Like a W on

Dennis, thank you very much for the input. Previous owner replaced the tires already. I ordered the short fender with small tail light from the W650shop.de so I should be good there. I'll have hubby

---I doubt if you see the W come back. I think values on W 650s will start to go up and bringing more over will dampen that. For what its' worth, Kawasaki is supposed to bring this to the states in

Anita Weaknesses on the W are a cracking rear fender, poor front tire if you still have the original Accolade ribbed tire, and if you have some miles on it the front sprocket may hook. All stuff you

Thanks, Ruari. It had me worried since I have a trip planned in a few weeks to go up the coast in California to the Moto GP/Laguna Seca. I really appreciate all the reassuring responses. It has been

Motorcycle Consumer News latest issue has an excellent article on suspension setup. And there's a book called Total Control by Lee Parks which has a very good chapter on this stuff. Both the W and

Yes, Anita, they are all like that, they grab quickly at the very end of the range. I tried to have mine engage the clutch sooner (closer to the grip), but all that happened was I was left with some

I'm not aware of any that immediately come to mind in the USA or Europe- you could ask Jon if he knows or can advise who was the subcontractor for the header pipes for the Fishpipes. However, here

Sal, Thank you very much this is very helpful. My husband already made these adjustments and it is a little better. Yeah we figured the clutch couldn't be worn yet with these miles, but weren't sure

Hi, I popped by the motorcycle co-op today and they measured my W650 preload "sag." They are not terribly familiar with older style bikes, they are a sportbike/racer shop. I have Hagon progressive

Hi, Gang. This is pie-in-the-sky talk, but I was just wondering ... Someday I'd like to mess around with different exhaust setups for the W. But I do not want to fold, spindle or mutilate my stock

You win on two-strokes and four-strokes. How many bicycles have you got? :-)
