The Appeal

The Z650 has always been the sports bike that flies below the radar. Its rivals grab the headlines while it delivers for discerning enthusiasts who revel in the knowledge that they’ve got something altogether rarer yet just as good.

This lovely bike is a UK market model that now has the benefit of Historic Vehicle status so is MOT, tax and ULEZ exempt. It is in lovely, apparently original condition with smart blue metallic paintwork accented by red and gold pinstriping. The low mileage of under 38,000 is believed to be genuine.

The current keeper, a classic bike collector, has owned it for seven years and kept it well maintained whilst improving the running gear. This big in-line is from the classic sports bike era and will deliver smiles by the mile to the buyer.
