WRONG!!!! Plummen made a good catch. The front end has been monkied with as the caliper should be BEHIND the forks. I'd ask the owner for an explanation (was the bike in a wreck that required fork replacement?? Ed

She's clean, she's a runner (presumably), and very very nice judging by the pictures.

im no 650 expert by anymeans but what has me scratching my head is the caliper mounted on front of forkleg.on the big kaws that screams 77 kz1000 or older
Someone has changed the forklegs from side to side, that explains the forward mounted caliper and the disc on the right side. It is an 80 F model and a nice one at that. I have one myself and it is one of my favorite bikes. For $1300.00 you should probably grab it. I know I wouldn't sell mine that cheap.
