Nice bike, although it's been modified as a Cafe Racer. The KZ650 were "common" back in the day, but good looking bikes IMO. Find a KZ900 or KZ1000 and I'd be drolling over that. :D

I just had a look locally (Calgary) and here is one for a shocking $3800.

Found this perusing some websites for the exhaust headers I need, thought you might be interested. I know it's not your old 400, but it looks like that'd be a hoot to ride around town, would definitely get some looks and lots of questions.
Thanks for thinking of me! ;)

That bike looks crazy cool! But you're right, it's not my 400... There is just something about that ol' 400 that just makes me grin... :inlove2:

Oh Jesus, if I still had one. We use to cuss and kick those things back in the day. I couldn't wait to get a proper and refined twin 650. Which needed more cussin' and kicking till sorted out. Those were the days.
People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.
