Remember when those were new, along with ZRXs (which I have had several of) and as a saleman at a kawasaki dealer trying to work my way through college we couldnt give them away. Funny how in demand both are now

Both nice examples and these are obviously in demand and holding their market value, yes?  :cool: :thumb: :1:

There are four for sale on CL in the San Francisco Bay Area.  Asking prices range between $5000-6900.  IIRC they were a little over $6000 new.

The 2000 W650 was one of the nicest small bikes I've owned.  The dealer in Upper Sandusky had 3 on the floor gathering dust.  I bought mine in Aug 2000 for $4995 + setup and tax.  I believe they retailed for $6499 or thereabouts.  The USA got one color combination for 2000, and a different combo for 2001.  Then ....poof.  Gone!

Here's mine: (BTW: the difference between the 2000 and 2001 is the 2001 has a larger front axle -more stability, and a more comfortable seat).

I hear what people are asking for these.
The wonder is what are they getting?

Yeah me too.

Especially since it looks like I'm going to have one in the garage soon to consider buying, or more likely, selling.

That is a very nice W650 at a very good price - I would buy it if I had the juice.
