Model Identification<\/p>\n

Year: \u00a0 1979
\nMake:\u00a0 Kawasaki
\nModel:\u00a0 B4
\nVIN:\u00a0 KZ750B-033101 <-> 046100
\nEngine: KZ750BE033101 <-> 046086
\nColors: Luminous Brown (almost red), Midnight Blue (very dark)<\/p>\n

Characteristics that distinguish the \u201979 from the ’78:\u00a0 Not much.\u00a0 The paint color options changed, and the pinstripe design that was brought to a crisp point at the front of the tank sides, and a downward-turned point at the rear of the tank.\u00a0 Also, the ignition switch changed to 6 pin from 4 pin, and headlight control switch was eliminated.<\/p>\n

This is the last year of the 4-year run of the 750 “B” Twin series, and in a larger sense, it is almost unchanged from the ’78 (though there were significant changes in ’78 from the ’77).\u00a0 The next year would bring dramatic cosmetic changes, then the years that follow would bring even more dramatic architectural and styling changes…\u00a0 but at the heart, still that same lump…<\/p>\n

And here are a few pics to help identify the ’79 B4\u00a0 (all pics are U.S. models, I don’t have any European pics).<\/p>\n\n\t\t
