There's an SR650 on the main page and it says that the bikes are styled to look more like a chopper.

What makes that so?

Only differences I can notice are the fenders and the lack of a tailpiece. Some SRs I see have pinstriping but Im not sure all of them do. Mine doesn't.

I just noticed also that those bikes have the same front fender but the SRs is color matched.

More chrome, the taller seat on the back, taller handlebars, turn signals on the handlebars, no duck tail.

Ahh, i never noticed the turn signals were different.

Mine has the tall seat and I think I want to get rid of it for a lower one. It's so comfy though.

The SR or D model (K)Z650s had a 16 inch rear wheel, while most of the other 650s had an 18 inch wheel in back. The H (CSR) and E (LTD) models also had the 16 inch rear wheel,

It also had less castor and more trail than the other models, It had a slightly longer wheel base, and a smaller capacity fuel tank.

And stock, the SR came with the cool looking criss-crossed headers.

The tank profile was also very different, which really changes the look
