Porto, Portugal-based WKND Customs has built a scrambler based on the Kawasaki W650. Named 'Shadow Play,' the build reflects the atmosphere of Porto's dramatic terrain and cobblestone streets. Its clean finish, which makes the most of the air-cooled parallel-twin's character, catches the eye.
The W650 has good bones as an air-cooled parallel twin, making it perfect raw material for a builder. This machine, turned scrambler by Porto's WKND Customs, shows a real sense for where to put the work even through photos. Meeting it in person would reveal the builder's intent even more. Seeing work like this, I really do think a motorcycle is culture.

Looks amazing, but keeping it purely for city riding around Porto would be a waste.
The W650 isn't something you can buy new anymore, right?
Right, production ended a long time ago. So it starts with hunting for a used one.
It's clean-looking, but honestly the W650 still feels like it's leaning on its base bike's charm.
Probably a one-off so who knows what this actually costs... I'll just admire it from afar.
The name Shadow Play is way too cool, fits a cobblestone city perfectly.
Based on the W650, nice and understated - an air-cooled parallel-twin scrambler nowadays shows they get it.
