In the late 70s a friend of mine seen a 1967 Kawasaki W650 sitting in our local Honda shop, he asked the owner about it and said it was trade in, it sat in the corner collecting dust, he asked how much he wanted for it and the owner said he be glad to get rid of it, so my mate told him he only had $150 and he got it, he took it home gave it a good clean up and put a set of pull back bars on it and just rode it and rode it and rode it, it just kept going starting first kick every time.

It changed a few owners over the years and my mate brought it back again about 3 years after he sold it, but it was running the same, very reliable, it just kept going, it had a hard life from everone that brought it, after my mate sold it for the second time it went away from our local area to never be seen again, but it changed hands between mates in our area and was around for over 6 years.

I say if you have a chance to buy the one in the Featherbed, I say go for it, you won't regret it at all.
