Dare not compare!! TX650/KZ750 Twin

[wrenchead]

I have owned both the KZ 750 and several XS 650's. The XS feels lighter and handles better. Power was about equal. In the US KZ's are not very popular and can be purchased for less than a XS 650. They both require about the same amount of funds to maintain. The XS will sell faster than the KZ and at a higher price. I would buy another KZ 750 as long as the price was right (less than $600 US) and if it was clean. Good luck and keep us informed of your decision.

Kz was my first road bike, I resurrected it from the dead and beat the snot out of it for a loong time. Very peppy engine, easily hauled 2 up and gear. The vibes on this bike are higher frequency than the xs. I like working on the xs engine much better, it's very simple compared to the kz. Everything else has been covered so I won't echo it.
