Like Ed said WOW, I did not know they made a 650 Ltd, what year is it? I like that the fenders are painted and not chromed like all the Ltd I have seen ,

Yea I'm curious as to what year It is also, It looks just like a 1979 SR 650

I believe it is a 1980 KZ650-E1. I think the LTD was only made that one year, so it is a pretty rare model. It's really nice that it survived in original condition. Ed

off topic..

Or they go off to some war and never come home and there family just lets it sit in the garage.

Seems like the main cause of death in young USA men is poisoning, suicide and road traffic accidents (mainly motorcycles?),

As Stalin said, each death a personal tragedy, each Megadeath just another statistic. (with all due respect)

No we are just filthy rich. like you said. Your right what was I thinking.

Nice find indeed catseye!


Rare 650 too.

every time I see a bike in that condition, which is not very often, I dont have enough dosh on hand to purchase it.

You nailed it. I had serious questions about it's authenticity because I am used to seeing LTDs with smaller tanks, disc brakes all around, chrome fenders, etc. I found some excellent sites with amazing resources specific to kz650s that led me to it being an E1

I think this one deserves nothing but to leave I in as original shape as I can. I may go to solid state ignition.....
