A runabout at the recent Circuit if the Americas races. I think it’s a mid-to-late 60s 175cc trail bike, OHV four stroke. Vintage Benelli Cobra Scrambler in Austin TX

Best Kawasaki? KZ650 at Lady Bird Lake

Written by Ken Altes

Available 1976 to 1983, the Kawasaki KZ650 continues to be much admired. In fact, our own Limey (see link at right) likes this bike the most to modify and enjoy. Reliable, handsome, powerful (64 hp and 120 mph) with excellent handling, it is the core of innumerable cafe racers, it was good to find a nice, unmolested example.Kawasaki KZ650 Ausitn TX
