若者とW1

Youth and W1

One day on a regular holiday, there was a visitor.

He is 26 years old and is supposed to be wearing a BOONY-0 and riding a Ducati 999, but the one who came riding today was a W1SA who is much older than him.

My first rendezvous with him

There aren't many people around who drive older cars, so the W1 that I bought through a private sale has a lot of the atmosphere of the time and is my new favorite car.

He seems happy and is trying to improve his condition little by little.

It's a bit similar to how I was when I chose the Z1000MK-II from the GPZ900R around 20 years ago when there were no old drivers around. .

The current machine is the W650, an early model from 1999.

It has been in production for over 20 years, so the current situation seems to be similar to when I got the Mk-II I chose back then, but it is also different.

BONNY-0, which I am getting used to, will continue to use this motorcycle.
