Hi all, just joined and thought I'd introduce myself.
I live in Wakefield west yorkshire in england, I have a 1996 ZX6R-F2 which I have now decided to just run on track, so I bought a 1977 Z650-B1 in Candy green a month ago, to rerstore and ride on the road, with the intention of keeping my license and enjoying some good road riding in 2008
Here's a couple of pice of my bikes in there current state.

Welcome to the site. That '77 KZ650-B1 is just a beautyfull machine. Pin stripping, seat, the tank, the whole works is just great. Enjoy.

By the way, any chance of reducing the second image to less that 530 wide.

Best of success.

Welcome Kermit! Wise man for attempting to minimize your interactions with the authorities...but if you plan it right, you can get into just as much trouble on a Z650:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Not sure mate, I've done some background on the bike and it appears to be an import from italy, it was registered in the UK in 1990 so it might be an italian spec
