Kawasaki got burned on the W650. A bunch of us Americans (not me though) started a letter-writing campaign to trick Kawasaki into importing it in the US. "If you import it, we will come!"
KHI imported it, and they became showroom anchors. When I bought mine (with a nice discount), the salesman unexpectedly hugged me.
And what was Triumph's best-selling model while this was all happening? The Bonneville America (a wannabe Harley.)

We'll never get the W800 because we don't deserve it.
