Now THAT'S cool !!! Thank you for that, kxhonda. You gotta be the winner (so far) for the earliest 650. Congrats !!!
She's a keeper, for sure.B):)
Now how about you guys with 83's ??? I know you're on this board.....;)

It all depends on that first digit. If its 000576 then that is the earliest one so far and would be probably 6/76 along with my 0006xx bike. If it's #500576 then it's the later built USA and would fall 12/76 or 1/77
321,000 miles on KZ's that I can remember. Not going to see any more.

Nope, junebug3241. If you've got a 4/82 build date then you SHOULD have an '82 model rather than an '83. The model changeover usually takes place at the end of June. Yours would probably be a 650H2 I'm assuming.....?? With spoked wheels ???
Regardless, you are the owner of the latest 650 to reply so far.
KZ650C2 Stock/mint. Goes by "Ace".

GT550A Stock/mint. Pleasant stroker.

The title says 83 and All other indications.
I know can tell the year of a car by the vin. The tenth digit
in my vin is D in which as much as I know is 83. I'll take
a picture and post. It's was built by Kawasaki Heavy
Industries

Just verified it is a 1983 kz650h3. Not sure why the build date says 4/82 but it does.

Strange......that's just not right of Kawasaki to be doing things like that to try to confuse us poor folks 25 years later.:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
