Well, I go pretty far back concerning motorcycles, but a what? Maybe, and a BIG maybe, it might get 4 or 5 hundred. If it runs...and you get a collector needing one....which is doubtful since no one collects 60s riceburners.

Ive been done some digging..its appears that the W1 was one of kawasakis first motorcycles.>. It's been compared to the BSA A10's of that time frame. Basically its been describedas "imagine a BSA a10 with an engine that was incredibly much better put together"

is 1100 miles alot for a motocycle?
