Dave, please take note in thread 27 I pulled the thread back on track to its original post and I didn't do anything weird or mention Subaru's at all.......oops 
Jealous much??????? Naa naa na naaa naa........oh I digress,
It is ......drum roll please...........
"The 2012 Special Edition of the popular Kawasaki W800 is better than ever and for us the Kawasaki created an instant classic! All metal (no plastic here) with the vertical air-cooled twin-cylinder engine (a real tribute to the classic Kawasaki W1), this time travel machine will take you down the vintage road in a heart beat. All of it’s 773cc’s were tweaked for the low down torque (usable from 2500rpm), the 19 inch front / 18 inch back wheels are anodized in Gold while the 300mm disc is in charge of the stopping power."
Upgraded version of the old 650. Which was WAY cool but nobody here bought them so Kawi stopped selling them in the states.......MAYBE with popularity of the Bonnie they will do so again, but for now I understand this is only a European model......I always keep an eye out for a used 650 version, but they are very rare here. Seems it would be fun to "plunk" around on.
P.S. SUBARU SUBARU SUBARU...........

I thought I may as well before someone else did it
Kevin funny each time I walk into a Honda dealer this is something that also strikes me and it ends up being a combination of what I am looking for and the price range I am prepared to pay for it
I'd buy a Yamaha Tenere 660.
I bought this 6 yr old XT660R a couple of months ago.
It's a capable bike and lots of fun.

Your wish is my "google-fu" command Sir B.C.

The newest, biggest and fastest Cowasaki. I hear their new flagship is a 9 second quarter miler. Sometimes I love the rush of an awesome inline 4.
However, when it comes to putting my money down ... my last two Jap Crap (sorry, I still remember Pearl Harbor) purchases were a Suzuki DR200e and a Suzuki DR350e - both I still have. The DR200e is in mint condition; the DR350e is a 1997 model in very good condition and its undergoing a restoration. I worked on it for about 4 hours straight just last night.
Tonight's to do list is - 1) install new rear tire and tube, 2) chain cleaning, 3) steam clean rear wheel and spokes, 4) paint the over and under pieces of the rear subframe (over is white, under is black and mainframe is purple), and reassemble rear end.
I'm doing a booth at a March 24-25 motorcycle swap meet and I'm going to offer the DR350e for sale there (at more than double what I paid for it).
