Kawasaki Welsinore
The owner of this ’01 Kawasaki W650 came to us because he did not like this motorcycle he bought 17 years ago and which he barely used since (less than 2000 kilometers mileage).
He wanted something to remind him his first two wheels’love: the Honda CR250 aka “The Elsinore”.
A lot of “invisible” work has been made on this one the match with the owner’s first love.
Given his reaction when he discovered the final result, we can consider that we achieved the perfect motorcycle for him.
