Meguro, the storied brand at the roots of Kawasaki's W series, has been revived with the vintage-styled Meguro K3. Nearly 30 years of classic Kawasaki heritage traced back to the W650 is carried into the present, paired with modern technology.
Bringing the W650-derived air-cooled vertical twin into the present under the Meguro name is something I can't get enough of. Behind that vintage look, what modern technology has been tucked inside? Lined up against the old W-series, what did they keep and what did they update? I think this is a luxurious bike where you get to savor both the weight of history and the spec sheet.

What model does the W-series lineage actually trace back to?
If you trace it back, it's said to carry on the lineage of Meguro's vertical OHV twins, like the Stamina K1.
The prestigious Meguro brand — counting from the 1960 tie-up with Kawasaki, this is a reinterpretation of a pretty long history.
Can't tell from the article alone whether it's basically a lightly-tweaked W-series OEM or genuinely reworked as its own thing.
Seems like they're splitting roles with the Meguro S1 announced the same day — S1's probably the lighter one and K3 the classic-spec version.
The tagline about blending vintage feel with modern tech — I'm curious how that actually feels in person.
Thinking about how the bloodline's been kept alive for almost 30 years since the W650, the Meguro K3 itself feels like a milestone.
