BTW, Mkll's were 1979 models, date of manufacture on neck may show 1978 and that's how it got titled - see that all the time.

MKII is a lot heavier, makes for a great road bike, but I always prefered the 650 for short rides, riding around town ect.
MKII vibrates a lot more than a KZ650.
Parts for MKII are all getting expensive and hard to get. You won't find MKII in junk yards where thousands of KZ650s are resting.
MKII is the best looking motorcycle ever, so that clenched it for me, but I'll keep the 650s too.
321,000 miles on KZ's that I can remember. Not going to see any more.

Are you kidding!!!? I noticed you didn't mention anything about that camel seat. lol Were you planning on riding it like that?Man its soo tempting, but what do I do with a 650 in pieces? What a dilemma.
Listen! This is a no brainer. Buy that bike! If not share the information with us. Someone would more than happy to make a quick decision on this site. If you pass please post the information. I would bike this bike today only because I have been looking for a MKII since I saw my friend's bike. No point in thinking about it. You have this other bike in pieces and can always fix it up albeit a later time but this bike is pretty rare and once fixed up could fetch a pretty penny. Your bike OTH can be as nice but will be no where near the worth ever IMO. Don't get me wrong I like 650's but this is a real bike in my mind.
Or hesitate and tomorrow that bike will be all but history guaranteed. Don't be a woman on this one or you won't have a choice and will regret it later.
