Kawasaki KZ650 description

A rare find ... great example of a classic Kawasaki. Perfectly maintained and a beautiful ride. Kept original. Needs nothing. New Metzeler Lasertec tires. Custom rack included. Tail bag (pictured) not included.

This is a D2 Model - Differences from 1978 D1:

Chrome was used on the headlamp shell, clock lowers and chain guard. The rear tailpiece was dropped in place of a painted rear fender. The front exhaust downpipes were crossed over and the mufflers were made a bit shorter. The rear wheel was now a small but fat 16-inch item for that all-important custom look. In America there was also a D1A model in 1978 and an E model in 1980, which were very similar but did not have as much equipment. The D2 also got the drilled brake discs and sintered pads from the C3 model of this year as well as the new "automatic" cam chain tensioner mentioned in the B3

Don't miss this one!

From Cycle Guide -

With the limited-production KZ650 SR, the latest of Kawasaki's factory-built, custom-like boulevard buzzers, the company has created a flash-cycle which will provide pleasure for more than profiling. Although the 650 SR has received a full complement of chopper-esque styling touches from its wide, 16-inch, flat-black-and-polished alloy rear wheel to its bobbed and pin-striped front fender, the stylists apparently remembered that after the ogling is over, someone has to actually ride the motorcycle.

For example, consider comfort, one of the most-often sacrificed aspects of semi-chopped boulevard cruisers. Look at the SR's carefully styled seat which recalls Triumph customs and yet still complements the Harley-like suggestions in the tank and rear wheel. When you're done looking, you can climb on and know that it will be over two hours before the saddle even begins to feel stiff. The handlebar looks right but isn't radical enough to ever cramp your arms or bend them at awkward angles. The lean-look front fork glides smoothly over most bumps and the rear shocks keep the ride comfortable, too.

K-Tech release 25SSK for Big Piston Forks

Mon, 21 May 2012

K-Tech have released their popular 25SSK front fork open cartridge system to fit all Showa Big Piston Forks. Here's what K-Tech have to say about them: These lightweight aluminium units are supplied to the same exacting specification as all other 25SSK fitments with 14mm piston rods and a 25mm cartridge tube, the 14mm piston rods displace a large volume of oil through the 25mm control pistons giving enhanced damping characteristics over the standard Big Piston Fork and allow a bigger volume of air for a more precise feel at the bottom of the fork travel. The cartridge kits have compression and rebound adjustment in both legs and are supplied with 1.5mm Flow Control Valves for a more accurate adjustment, all necessary hardware is supplied to convert the Big Piston Forks to take the cartridges but it is necessary to order the springs you require as these are not included, customer price for the 25SSK cartridges is £725.00 + VAT and are available for the following models:- Honda CBR1000RR 2012 Kawasaki ZX6-R 2009-2012 Kawasaki ZX10-R 2011-2012 Suzuki GSXR600 2011-2012 Suzuki GSXR1000 2009-2012 Contact K-Tech on: +44(0)1283 559007.

The name Matt Cuddy should need no introduction to Motorcycle.com readers. Not only does he have more than 5,000 posts on our forum, he’s also written dirt bike tests for us, including the 2010 and 2011 Kawasaki KX450F reviews. Making this accomplishment more noteworthy is the fact that Matt is a paraplegic – he was hit by a car several years ago while riding his motorcycle.
