Anyone know how many Z500B's were made?

Beautiful bike
Great work

Wow, very nice!

Great job, am doing my 1980 Z500B2 at the moment. Owned from new, now done 78260 miles.

Doing a referb not a restore got most of rolling chassis done now working on the engine.

have almost a spare bike that has been in bits since 1982 and will build it up when the main one is done.

Thanks for the comments Rob, the bike will be on show along with my H1 at the Croft retro classic weekend 3/4th August over your way, if your around come and have a chat.

That would be fantastic. Are you a member of the VJMC? I am linuxrob on there too and have posted the work so far in the Kawasaki section. should really post it all here too. My Z500 has been round croft numerous times in 1980 the old circuit of course and managed 1 minute 27 seconds per lap. I did not want to wreck it so raced a n RD400C instead and kept the Z for the road. The ~Terry Beckett Tuned 400 managed 1 min 23 and was good enough to get me 8th or 10th most days till the 350Lc can out.
