Love those 650's. A bloke I know imported an orange one (spare green bodywork fitted this pic. )from the old dart to oz . But it had been imported from the US to the UK before that. This might be a year either side of yours. I reckon they punch above their weight. It's a joy to ride. Cracking looking bike Baz.  |

Very nice Ken , i think that one is a 1978 B2 model, mines a 1977 B1. I agree they are an amazing bike for their day, definitely out handled the Z900. Cheers.

The thing that puts me off from buying an old diesel is the prospect of a rebuild ; I recently rebuilt my 4LO but I wouldn't attempt a diesel

I've had a Z1000j for 32 years and over 60000 miles and in all that time it's only had rings and valve stem oil seals. This one does not smoke when started up so fingers crossed. |

My brother had a B1 (I think), back in the early 80's, in the green - fantastic bike. He fitted a Yoshi to his and it sounded fantastic. Was a really quick bike for it's time, and seemingly bullet proof. Lovely bike Baz Dusty |

Always loved Zeds, great bikes, had a green B2 a while back although it did have the dreaded starter clutch issue  Enjoy! |
