We have a local guy with a green and crème W650. My CB1100 is typically the best looking bike at The Grotto - until he shows up.
I'm not at all familiar with the older BSA and Kawasaki's that came first so the W650 (and 800) have to stand on their own; which they do very well. Not very many modern bikes can say that. But taste is a funny thing; tainted by what you grew up with. I did not grow up with transformers so I consider all bikes based on them, typically Bas*&(%$ cousins to bikes like the CB, Bonnie and W650.
