In order to satisfy the nostalgic and while waiting for the arrival of the delicious neo-retro, the Akashi brand has brought out some offbeat photographs of the previous model, the W650.

Unveiled by the Greens in 1999, the W650 then possesses the main characteristics which have forged the success of the "W" saga since the release of the W1: a twin cylinder set at 360 °, a double chrome exhaust outlet and a long saddle. thick leather.

At the time, Kawasaki France entrusted photographer Dingo with the task of immortalizing the newcomer..

Famous for his shots as original as they are meticulous, the French artist decides to stage the W650 around the theme of the seven deadly sins.

This curious mixture gives an interpretation both funny and offbeat of laziness, pride, lust, gluttony, envy, anger and greed … with a W650 as a tool expression of these different sins !

Will the imminent marketing of the new 773 cc W800 (planned for early 2011 at around 8,500 euros) be accompanied by the same approach, to say the least, original on the part of Kawasaki France? To be continued: stay connected !
