Hey 76LTD - Check out this link to the 650's history. It should help you out. They were the first cruiser style for the 650 with a smaller, wider rear tire, siamese exhaust, a more slab-sided tank and a few chrome goodies. The SR wasn't the home run for Kawasaki that they hoped it would be. Kinda comes down to personal flavors.
