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

How about the original 903cc Z1 in orange/brown?

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...

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.
