Yep, it's here. I only sold the W800 to pay for it. Found a no-nonsense dealer in Sublimity, OR (about an hour and half away) that doesn't charge shipping nor set-up, and OR has no sales tax which makes new bike purchases more attractive. I saved a little more because I was able to use the W's license plate which still has 2 years of registration. Funny, I've used that plate on the first W800 I bought (café version), the RE INT650, the blue W and now this bike.
I held back from two very good deals on second hand KLXs because I just wasn't sure if the W would sell this late in the fall. The guy in NV was the only one who responded and by the time that finalized, the second hand KLXs had already sold. With the W sold, I thought why not as it nearly came out even.
I've come full circle as my very first bike I purchased in 1982 was a '78 Kawasaki KLE250, which was also green.
