Are you all running standard looking bikes or are there any modified bikes out there?

 

I’m keen to see pics of any modified W650s around the world. By modified I mean brat style, chopped, bobbed or tracker. Mild mods are ok like paint, brakes, seats etc. ?Bolt on screens and panniers not so.?
cheers

Interesting. Is there a reason why this bike being mistaken for a Triumph is a good thing??
I have owned a few Triumphs and ?they were cool but I prefer the Kawasaki. ?Tbh I modified the Triumphs too?
 
Edited

Thanks. I don’t do Face book. Yours sounds cool.?
 

Some awesome looking bikes there- I especially like the Dirty Dicks cafe racer.?
 

Dirty Dick those bikes are Gorgeous! ?I especially admire the red and black roadster (last on the list). ?You manage to keep that classic simplicity with minimal modifications. ?


My 2000 model blue and silver is stock except for the emissions stuff that everyone seems to remove. ?It’s a really good bike except for that buzzyness around 3500 rpm. ?My T140 handled a little better, I think, but I have the stock (US) handlebars.
?
Lately, I’ve been interested in the Sportster Evolution bikes… the carbed bikes have a much greater likeness to my old 1973 (right side shifter) sportster. ?I sold it many years ago (sometime in the mid-eighties). ?
