Kawasaki Z650-C3 luminous dark blue 1979 Original UK Bike. ‘Son of Z1’

Simply stunning 🙂 The success of the Z1 allowed Kawasaki to make their mark in the four stroke market and bosses at the Japanese factory decided that they needed another model to follow on that success. Instead of the usual 750cc class Kawasaki once again dared to be different and re-invented the 650cc class. The Z650 was introduced to the trade in 1976 and was an instant hit. 64bhp was claimed with a dry weight of only 465lbs, making a top speed of nearly 120mph possible. But more importantly, this new model handled like no other Kawasaki. For once all the available power could be used in relative safety. The Z650 was truely the 'Son of Z1' having been designed the the Grand Master himself, Ben 'Mr Z1' Inamura. The Z650 had the agility of a 500 with the performance of a 750 and was indeed the best Kawasaki so far. 1979 Z650-C3 STARTING FRAME NUMBER: KZ650C-022801 The C3 was the first Kawasaki model to use the new all weather sintered disk pads and braking in the wet was much improved. The bike was once again only offered in one colour, luminous dark blue. The Speedo now incorporated KPH markings as well as MPH and the rear caliper was changed to accept the new square sintered pads. The side panel badges were also slightly changed. Many considered the C3 to be the best of the range. This was the last of the C range in the UK although there was a C4 elsewhere, available in black or red.
