Sharp 1978 KZ650!!

This ebay 1978 KZ650 really impressed me! It might be over priced but if I had the money I would grab it! Nice, nice! Only problem I have is the "99hp" (maybe 75hp?) and no air filters! I'd still jump on it for sure.

Hmmm.... if it is a KZ, then it has the wrong wheels! I also don't like the idea of no air cleaners - that is asking for a trashed engine. I am a little suspicious!

I was thinkng the same things? Although, if an 810 conversion has been done It MIGHT bring 99 BHP??
I like mine better :)

MAC B)

Actually its got a 710 CC bore on it and 29 mm Smoothbores!! So, depending on how much porting and polishing, 90 HP would prolly be True!
