The only motorcycle I ever purchased new , was back in the day, 77 KZ650B , Red. Unfortunately I parted with it at some point (mistake) it was an awesome bike. I have now replaced it with the twin to that bike and really enjoy it,,,,,, once again an awesome bike.
For the life I can't remember what I paid for the bike new, the first time. Anyone know what these sold for new????

Was looking at a new 79 cbx for 3,300 and a Suzuki 1000 for 2,800 before I decided that was too rich for my blood and decided on my slightly used KZ650 for 1,100.

Best move I ever made.

700cc Wiseco kit 10 to 1.
1980 KZ750 cam, ape springs, stock clutch/ Barnett springs.
