My thought exactly. I saw one at the local Kawi dealer a few days ago.. It's really a beautiful looking piece of machinery.
But $6500 US is a _lot_ of bucks for an air-cooled twin. A Suzuki GS500 is, what, $4500 US? I'd rather have the W650 but I don't think I'd be willing to pay an extra $2000.
Yamaha is rumored to be thinking of bringing the XS650 back with a few updates. I always thought that was a pretty nice-lloking basic twin.
