The WR650 was short-lived in the US - not likely we'll see this one here, IMHO  :(
 
Probably not. In this country, we seem to either want cruisers or sport bikes. Well, there's also the adventure bikes, too. But standards or whatever you want to call them don't seem to do as well. I rode a friends W650 and it was much like my old Triumph except it didn't vibrate as much or leak oil!
