  no1 no2 no3 no4 Aaron from Kansas City sent me pictures of his really nice H1 from 1981.  The CSR are probably the hardest Z650 to find if you want one. And Aarons bike is a beauty in Luminous Passion Red. Not many like this one out there.  
Thanks for the pictures and information!

      The only drag bike here,  Alex's 78 KZ650 As you see the bike is heavily modified and THE fastest 650 here.

And its fast, low 10's and 130mph quarter mile (1/4 mile).
And its strong, around 130 hp at the rear wheel. (same as a ZX11)
Most of the bike is custom built.

And yes, its not street legal.

Hello from Calgary, Canada.....the home of many 650's. I know of at least 5 besides my own KZ650C2.

I bought my C2 from the 3rd....yes....the 3rd owner.....with only _*2,254*_ kilometres on the clock in April, 2007. The old girl had not been used very much and had been properly stored over the years by the various owners so that's why she was in such nice condition. This bike is sooooo much fun to ride. I own other bikes, both older/newer and larger/smaller than my 650....but the 650 is the bike I ride every day.

Lots of power, good handling and great brakes....considering she's 31 years old.

 I've taken her on 2 longish trips each about 1700 kilometres during the past year and she has never missed a beat. She's as dependable as the sunrise and gets excellent fuel economy, both around town and on the highway.

I've kept her as stock as daily use allows, although the windshield and the parcel rack are necessary additions for the daily trek back and forth to work.

I'm attaching a few pics of "Ace" (as I call her) for your site.

 

Kind regards,

H2RICK
