    I've got to say this, I bought one of these cheap second hand and what a lot of bike.
    Kawasaki ER6 based looking like a pan European

    Brand new £3500 with clothing or other gear!!

    WK Bikes WK650TR 650CC EFI TOURER MOTORCYCLE MOTORBIKE PANNIERS BRAND NEW

    I've just done the Alps on mine and read my post on "testing a real Chinese bike" for more info. image.jpg
    The fairing works brill, the bike uses er6 bits like brakes engine and frame KYB suspension and just a well balanced bike. Dealers seem to be struggling and prices were £5200 a few months ago.
    Think of it as a wise mans VW when they bought skoda!
    Ask "the big lad" on his comments about it as he's seen it!!

    "Dealers seem to be struggling and prices were £5200 a few months ago.

    Is that before VW started fiddling their anti-pollution software or after ???

    For peeps who haven't seen this bike, it's very good. Of course Eric has painted his in this Bentley Turbo Storm Grey with bronze 'accents' and it looks really beautiful. But as to the bike being a viable proposition, consider this : he's just completed a trip through Austria, Italy and France (guessing about 2000mls) and how many breakdowns did the bike suffer? Zero !! Yes no faults whatsoever.

    So to summarise: nice looking bike, apparently very comfortable for distance work, reliable and cheap.

    What's not to like?

    Yes dodge, it's a good bit of kit. people should explore new stuff a little more that's how Aldi succeeded.
