First Kawasaki, 1978 KZ650 (1 owner, 8,000 miles)

Sold my 1970 Honda CB450 a couple weeks ago and finally found a KZ650 I wanted. Drove from Kansas City, Missouri to the Wisconsin border to pick up this 1978 Luminous Blue KZ650. Pictured is the original owner of the bike. He bought it in college and parked it a few years ago in his storage unit. Some of the chrome pieces was surface rust that should polish out, but the tank is MINT. My favorite part about this bike easily. I plan on getting it running in the next week and removing the seat, crash bars, luggage rack and fairing.

Welcome to KZR

Congrats on your 650 find, that is a beautiful example. That paint looks new, it should clean up to show room new in no time.

the 650 will ride and handle like a Porsche compared to your old CB450. Enjoy!
