One is in their front window, elevated on a platform so you view it from eye level. Makes me wish I was 30-40 years younger, because the seating position (overall ergonomics) would have to hurt this old body. Don't recall who said they 'wouldn't own a bike they couldn't see through.' Whoever it was, the W meets their criteria.
Rode the bike for 3 years before I switched to the W800. It is more than substitude for 650, which was a silver-blue one, very british like aTriumph Bonneville 650 in a way, from which Kawaski copied a lot if not the most for the outlook of their first new W. A very lovely motorbike.
Now I go out for ride with the W800 for Christmas.

Enjoy your ride!
