This KZ650 site will explain everything, it's an excellent resource! Others will have to chime in about the 750's.:)

Kawasaki.com should be helpful as well in determining the model designation of a particular bike. I find it easiest to search by year only without entering a vin or anything.

Other ways sometimes helpful toward identifying a particular model ---

Do a Google Image search, such as "1978 KZ1000-D1" which should return pictures of the cafe racer model.

Or go to "Filebase" under "KZ Information" in the green ribbon toward top of screen, and choose the year and model. Sometimes a picture is available for download.

Good Luck! :)
