Kick and electric start, bevel-shaft driven cam (much quieter than a camchain, but also finicky), higher finish than the new Bonneville, and the exhaust system is dual-walled so the pipes stay chrome. I've had a lot of bikes and each one has it's faults and virtues, but the W650 is the sweetest bike I've ever ridden.
I too am a big fan of Kawasaki's "better Bonneville". I would be the first in line with a deposit if they decide to bring the W800 here.
