£4,500
The 1977 Kawasaki Z650 B1 was introduced as the “son of Z1,” delivering the performance, reliability, and styling of its larger sibling in a more agile and accessible package. With its smooth four-cylinder engine, responsive handling, and classic lines, the Z650 quickly earned its place as one of the best-balanced middleweights of the 1970s. Now offered by TBR Classics, this UK-market example is finished in Candy Super Red and has been previously restored, retaining much of its originality while presenting in fantastic overall condition. With 67,764 miles on the clock, it’s a well-used but well-cared-for machine—ready to enjoy and reliable on the road.

- The frame has been repainted and remains in good condition, while the engine is in perfect working order, offering the strong, smooth performance these bikes are known for. The bike retains its original airbox, and is fitted with an aftermarket Harris exhaust system—the Harris badge plate shows some warping and fading, but can be easily replaced if desired. The bodywork has been repainted and is in excellent condition, showing no damage or wear. The seat features the original pan with a high-quality recovered cover, and the wheels have been previously rebuilt, contributing to the bike’s solid and confident feel on the road. Most of the chrome and trim are original and in great condition, with only slight tarnishing in a few areas, consistent with age. Overall, this Z650 B1 is a well-rounded and genuinely enjoyable classic—ideal for both collectors and riders looking for a practical and rewarding machine from Kawasaki’s golden era.
