Moto Guzzi Kz650 description

One of a kind,

It starts as a 1978 KZ650 where the cylinders have been bored and sleeved to 830cc with a MTC big bore kit from the late 70s.

The upper case has been machined as well to fit the new cyl sleeves

This was a complete case split rebuilt documented with pictureS

The turbo kit is from ATP American Turbo Pak (ATP branded intake manifold, turbocharger RayJay F40 and exhaust manifold and pipe), just like the one that equipped the Kawasaki Z1R-TC back in 1978-79 where only 500 were made, they currently retail between 23/26,000$

Needless to say these vintage big bore kits and ATP turbo kit are extremely rare to find, especially for this particular bike, in fact this is the only KZ650, Big bored and turbocharged i've seen in the last few years (with period correct parts)

MR.turbo.com sells a newer version of this turbo kit for 4,000$ (without installation, tuning and the big bore kit)

The only one in this configuration 1/1

Some of the mods include but not limited to:

Dyna-s electronic ignition

Martek ignition coils

Metzler Lasertec tires

Forks with stiffer springs

Drilled front rotor

Rebuilt starter clutch

Battery Tender lithium battery

"Car like" ignition switch

Painted long bucket headlight and bracket

LED tail, stop and blinkers

Custom rear fender

Clip ons

New Kawasaki tank emblems

New Custom Wiring harness

Custom Seat and seat pan (which opens up with the OEM key just like the original one, so you can store your docs or do maintenance to the battery and components)

Black enamel painted frame

Custom Paint job and pin striping by Rare Air Werx

Chrome is original (8/10)

Makes a blasting 100whp at 10psi, currently set at a conservative 5psi

The original 650cc motor set up had half of this power at the wheel

According to the company’s first quarter report, Piaggio reported net sales of 303.4 million euros (US$396.8 million), down from net sales of 343.1 million euros reported the same quarter of 2012.
