I checked the bike out and it seems to run fine, and look fairly good, but do you guys think it's to much?
Thanks in advance for the help!!!

But, if they're rare in your area, and you really want a 650, then I guess its a seller's market. If he's put on all of the parts that he lists, then he's spent some money keeping it up. Can't see the paintjob, but if it's nice, that's worth more $$.
One thing....
He says it's only got 11,000 original miles, but he rides it every day? Either he hasn't had the bike very long, or he's got a really short commute.

I buy a lot of these old bikes and in my opinion Florida bikes are not real desireable. The sun just beats the hell out of them. The paint, seats, and gauges are usually toast as are most of the rubber parts. Although Florida cars are desireable in the North due to the lack of rust it is just the opposite when you are looking at bikes.
In my experience bikes from Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Pa, New York, New Jersey, Wisconsin, Minn, and Ohio are the better way to go.

Edit: Oh and I sold the rack and backrest to someone from Canada for $50.00.

$2000 is way to much for a 79 KZ650SR.

I still feel that the price was worth it.
And that's all that matters
