I am missing a model, the 1978 Z650-D1 (SR), which is the predecessor of the 1979 Z650-D2 (SR). The D1 was only offered in one color (Candy Persimmon Red), the D2 was also offered in Midnight Blue. Other differences include the brake system (the D2 had new brakes from the C3, and discs with some holes in them) and some small things enginewise.
The CB750's first Japanese competitor was the Kawasaki Z1 in 1972. [9] It was followed in 1976 by the Suzuki GS750 and by the Yamaha XS Eleven in 1978. These manufacturers all produced smaller versions of the same UJM formula, including, for example, the Honda CB500 of 1971. [9] By 1979 Harley-Davidson's big bike sales were down 90%. [12]
