Please don't be offended, but I think you need to do more research into the various model bikes, the cost of repairs, etc. before you make any decisions about buying. Otherwise you may end up with a bike unsuited for your goals and/or too expensive to repair. Ed

True Ed thanks for the advice so the 750 even though it has a dual exhaust it is still a 4 cylinder engine like the 650 csr ?

Once you become familiar with the various models you will be able to tell at a glance between the KZ750 twin and 4-cylinder models. The engines are very different looking. Regarding dual exhaust - take another look at that KZ750. You will notice it has 4 header pipes (one for each cylinder) sticking out of the front of the engine. The picture is a bit dark, but if you look carefully you will see them. Ed

The 750 - twin discs for a start. Bloody great to see you are not attempting to bastardize it and turn it into some kind of a chopper, Good start !

Dual discs; heavier un needed weight, a single ninja caliper would blow the stock kz dual disc set up away. Like I said, cafe = light nimble compact.

And not a joke; hondas make much better looking cafes, kzs are muscle bikes and harleys are choppers

Have you ever owned, ridden or wrenched on a bike?
