Also ich weiß das bei Yamaha, die SR 500, SR 400 usw.
da steht das SR für "Single Road", was wohl so viel heißt wie
einspurige Strasse.
Meint wohl sie ist gemacht für einsame Strassen, was auch immer?!?
Aber da kann ja jeder hineininterpretieren was er mag.
Für die 1979 Z650-D2 (SR)
Wikipedia meint dazu:
Rumour was that the SR stood for 'Stateside Replica' and this was what Kawasaki thought a replica should be! It was basically a C3 with slightly 'chopper' styling. Chrome plating was used on the headlamp shell, clock lowers and chain guard.[3] The rear tailpiece was dropped in place of a painted rear fender. The front exhaust downpipes were crossed over and the mufflers were made a bit shorter. The rear wheel was now a small but fat 16-inch item for that all-important custom look. In America there was also a D1A model in 1978 and an E model in 1980, which were very similar but did not have as much equipment. The D2 also got the drilled brake discs and sintered pads from the C3 model of this year as well as the new "automatic" cam chain tensioner mentioned in the B3 writeup.
Soll wohl heißen, das für die Staaten (USA) von Kawasaki ein Nachbau der C3 im Stile eines Choppers mit diversen kleinen Veränderungen gebaut und angeboten wurde.
Andere Lampe, andere Reifen usw. "Die Version für die Staaten" Wenn ich das richtig übersetze.....
