    My guess is a 305 the one with the drum brake, I have one sitting in the back of the shop that looks just like it and the other may be a 400 or a 440 they look similar

      I would tag the one without the tank as a '78 KZ400A, and somebody added an LTD seat to it, the "B" had the front disc. The one with the tank and nice big seat is probably an '80 KZ440LTD, or possibly the KZ750 twin. The 400's are great cafe bikes; loads of parts available on fleabay

        My first NEW bike I ever bought was a CSR 305. Single disc up front, and belt final drive.

          I think the drum brake is on a 440B model. Offered as the beginner, intro or stripper model, to reduce cost.

          Along with the lesser brake, I think they only had kick start, no electric.
