The bike is a 1979 Kawasaki 650 SR. Has 2846 original miles. I know the original owner very well...being that it is my dads . He however hasn't riden it in forever; so he is allowing me to ride it till I get my Yamaha R6 next year. There are a couple small things that we have to take care of before I can get registered.

I guess I will add a picture of me on the bike. Don't mind me really I'm not as goofy as I appear.

Congrats on the new ride! My father inlaw has a KZ1000 with just under 5000 original miles. Kawasaki makes a strong bike for sure, I know you will enjoy it!

Congrats on the ride. I like the classic look of the bike.

"I'm not as goofy as I appear" That made me laugh out loud. I think I'm going to borrow that line from you.

It does look exspensive but freaking amazing to say the least. Time to google this Steve Smither guy. Naked is good too! You don't see that as much over here in the US as you would in Europe.

You have any other pictures or info on this guy Bob?
