Although the Z1 was a revelation in it's day, if you ride one now it feels like a slow, heavy old tractor. I had one for a short time, and found I just wasn't interested in riding it much. The 650 on the other hand is still quite enjoyable, handling ok, power delivery ok. There was once a really nice one in one of the classic bike mags, had an RGV s/arm and forks and God knows what else, still basically looked like a Z650, but was apparently the nuts to ride. I've always wanted to do that to one, never had the money. :\
