Looks to me like early 750k, also fits the early 500/550 tanks.

Definately not 650 badges.

I think the thing I most like about motorcycling is the speed at which my brain must process information at to avoid the numb skulls who are eating pies, playing the ukulele, applying make-up etc in the comfort of their airconditioned armchairs as they make random attempts to kill me!!!!!!!

Someone did a poor spray job. The center of the letter should be white.

You know I think you are right that is why I could not identify them b/c I could not find any bikes with black letters except early KO's.  Thanks.  So probably 74'?
