Vehicle Information
Kawasaki 650 LTD Motorcycle - Street (1980)
The 1980 Kawasaki 650 LTD (also known as KZ650 in North America) was a robust motorcycle powered by a 652cc air-cooled DOHC inline four-cylinder engine with a five-speed transmission. It was positioned as a cruiser, offering various trims. The 1980 model year marked the introduction of the "LTD" designation (KZ650-E1), featuring a single front disc brake and a rear drum brake. Other trims like the KZ650SR (Z650-D) offered custom styling, cast wheels, dual-disc front brakes, and a single-disc rear brake. The Z650-F1 was a hybrid with alloy wheels and a rear drum brake. While the general KZ650 models produced 64-66 hp, the US-only KZ650 LTD had a slightly reduced output of 60 bhp. No major platform or engine generation break occurred specifically in 1980 for the LTD model; rather, it was an introduction of a new trim and minor updates across the KZ650 series. For instance, the Z650-D (SR) incorporated sintered brake pads. Significant changes like electronic ignition and front-end updates came in 1981.
