Inline 6, top heavy, and not very nimble like many rides of that era. I never found the top end because it would get the shakes just north of 120MPH. I didn't keep it very long.

I have a 1979 KZ1300 in my garage I bought new in 1979. With fairing and lowers and luggage rack with backrest. Currently has about 50,000 miles on it.

Top speed of the bare bike is 141 mph.

I personally like the way they ride and drive. They are big and fast and make a good touring bike for one up or two up.

I kinda semi retired the bike as I have others to ride. But kept it because I always liked it.

Benelli was the first production 6 cylinder from that era.

I thought the KZ1300 was kinda cool.  I would have bought one if it came with a dump bed.  Cheesy
