Look closely.. That’s not a one thousand. It’s a one hundred.
Hat Tip to the Italian Racing Cafe Blog for scoring this one. There’s some good links to more info on their post so check em out. I don’t often get material directly from other blogs but this is a rare exception since many of you may not have it on your rotation. I would LOVE to do one of these out of a small 2 stroke in an old GP style. Too cool.
Update: Just got a FB comment that this is probably referred to as a W2. Did a little research and this appears to be correct.
I almost missed this one rushing through a recent Riding Into History album. I’ve always really liked the look of these and there is a very interesting history behind these bikes See more pics and info HERE. In a nutshell it’s an improved copy of a copy of a BSA A7 by a company that merged with/was acquired by Kawasaki. I’ve heard good things about them but never ridden one. The “modernized” versions of these which had a brief appearance in the showrooms here are (along with the W800’s) unfortunately no longer available in the US. Shame since Triumph seem to have really made that segment work here with the Bonneville lineup.

Hi, here is the 55 T-110 with an original gas tank.
I think it looks more 50’s this way.
Anyway after 40 years it’s done for awhile.
She’s got style Eric! Thanks!
From the for sale section of the ADV rider board if anyone is interested. An NO I don’t know the owner or the bike.
I always loved this bike. Still do. Wish there was a modern equivalent in today’s market. Style to spare, sweet performance and affordable.
This is a test to see if I can post with a phone app. Thanks.

Is there anything they won’t put into a featherbed frame? I’ve heard of them but I think this is the first I’ve seen… or for sure the nicest.
Here are som othe great shots well worth checking out.
