I bought a silver KZ650 in the early 90's from a local farmer for $650.00. It was in great shape but had these ugly tubs on it. He did throw in a Kerker 4 to 1 header that was hanging on the wall in the barn for the bike. I took it to work and torched off the tubs, bought the gasket set for the header and put it on. I fell in love with it. I was around 250 pounds at that time but that bike would fly even with my weight on it. Great bike and would love to have another.
I bought new, a 78 kz650 with kerkers and an LTD twoup seat and sissy bar.. mine was green.. it was a daily driver for years, even in Montana winters…. I adored it…. My girlfriend at the time would layback and fall asleep on long rides… I’m catching grasshoppers and my jowls flapping in 75mph winds, and I look back in the mirror and she’s fast asleep!
I got a 1979 kz650 D2 w/ 81 750 e1 engine, 810cc, 4-1 vintage kerker like yours, LOTS of other upgrades. Hopefully ill be posting a video of my bike this week. JUST REBUILT HER FOR LAST TIME!!!
TOP NOTCH, my man. Wow. I've been tempted to buy a junked Kz650 nearby just to get the nice, vintage, chrome Kerker on it. Wife wouldn't be too psyched about it, though. Epic bike you have. Wicked nice.
Absolutely beautiful bike sir. Fantastic sound. I’ve a couple of Katanas with motad’s fitted, a gsx1400 With an akrapovic, but my favourite is my 1988 CBR1000F with a Laser that sounds great. But that there 650 is a beauty.
FELICITACIONES EL ESTADO DE CONSERVACIÓN, DE COLECCIÓN Y EXPOCICION, MUY BUENA, MI HERMANO TENÍA LA MISMA PERO CON LLANTAS DE ALIACION ERA MODELO 79 , EN FIN, SALUDOS CORDIALES DESDE ARGENTINA 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
I had the same bike and color minus the pipe.....t-boned a honda accord in 79 and spent almost 9 weeks in a hospital.....broke back.....fractured pelvis.....ruptured spleen..... broke right arm and fracture left leg...bike only had 2k miles.
@@jeremyclarkson-69 the front wheel was burned rubber from touching the pipes.....ins gave me 1600 or something like that the medical bills were over 40k......it was a pile of junk after that.....next bike was a kz1000
I have one IDENTICAL to it! Except my kerker header is black...my kz is the same color blue..same stripes!...mine has 5500 actual miles..i LOVE these old superbikes!
Black ones are still available, but I had to search craigslist for weeks to find a set of chrome ones. I used Search Tempest to check multiple Craigslists around the country. Good luck!
Yeah they are rare. I got a vintage one off a old scrap bike. Guy GAVE me a kz750 engine, kerker exhaust, and frame (junk) FOR FREE. Dude didnt know what a great bike/parts he had

It's a Gem

Beautiful kz650. I’m just finishing mine this week.
I had this bike, with the very same exhaust system. I loved the sound it produced even when the baffle would break the screw and blow out.

Dman I hope mine looks and runs that nice when I am done with her. It's a 1981 650 CSR. You did a great job
Sounds great, nice tick over, too!
back in 82 my older brother had a twin to that one.except his was totally stock.sold it when his daughter was born.
Love it, my old man had one back in the 80's with the Kerker exhaust
I had one just like it down to the details. Blue and everything in 1983 when I was in my 20's. I had so much fun on that bike. Great video and thanks.
What a fantastic bike... Awesome! 💪👌
