In 1960, Meguro launched its 500 Tl, with the same engine dimensions (66x72mm) as the [[Norton]] Dominator; it was more potent than the 650, with 33 hp @ 6000 rpm and was good for 90 mph. In 1956 the 650 gained a new engine inspired by the '''[[BSA]] A10'''. After the 650 appeared for the last time as a Meguro, the '''Kawasaki W1''' launched a new look; it scarcely changed until 1968. It was offered in three versions, including a scrambler with a high-level exhaust. In 1971 these models were fitted with a cross-shaft to move the gear selector to the left and, from 1973, with a disc front brake .
