Hello from Argentina!!
Yesterday 19:54
Good morning!
My name is Mariano, I'm from Argentina, and I finally managed to buy the motorcycle I'd been after for years from the father of a good friend. It's a 1980 z650, in very good condition. I don't know if the color is original; I've always seen it like this, and I still can't figure out the details to know for sure. I work in technology for large companies, and at night, when my family is asleep, I go for a ride to unwind. I love the sound, I love the motorcycle, and I feel happy every time I put on my helmet and go for a ride.
Thanks to those who make this consultation place for zriders possible, the effort must be considerable.
Regards!

Welcome.
What you have there is the last of the C series 650's, a C4 to be precise. They have very low production numbers, but yours has been repainted as the stock decals are missing. There were only two colors offered and one was black pearl.
The exhaust looks to be a stock system from a later model, possibly from a F series. It looks like only the mufflers were swapped out as it has non stock muffler brackets.
You can get more info here :
