I was ready for a retro bike three years ago, and then I saw the Kawasaki W800 in the color green on the web.
I loved the way this bike looked, and the color it came in (green) it was beautiful. So for three years I asked and checked with dealers to see if Kawasaki was going to send it to the USA. No one had a clue if it was ever going to happen. So in the mean time I looked at the Moto Guzzi V7, it looked good, but I thought I would another year to see if the W800 would come to the States. Another year goes by and no W800. But in that year Honda came out with the CB1100. This bike looked great, and all most bought it. But I decided to give Kawasaki one more chance. Once again 2014 came and no W800. Then I saw the New Honda CB1100 DLX on the web. I was sold, I put money down and ordered the bike, it looked perfect to me. Sorry Kawasaki, you missed the boat on this one, cause Honda is going to sell a lot of these bikes in a market place you could have been in, years before Honda. If one is to pick between CB1100 DLX or W800, and for a few dollars more the CB wins hands down.
