Kawasaki Z650 - 1980 Z650-E1

1980 Z650-E1

This was the first "LTD" model offered. It continued on in the tradition of the "SR" model with much the same styling cues but offered only a single disc brake on the front and a drum brake on the rear. The rest of the bike was pure D model in nature. For the U. S. and Canada, this model did not receive the new HyVo multiplate style cam chain and associated parts referenced in other models shown for this model year. Other markets, if any, did receive the HyVo chain.
