Nice GPZ Thumbs UpSmile

I've always wondered about them, hows the riding position? Looks like a good choice for fairly long distance journeys.

I,ve only had it since september, so not had any real chance to get out on a long ride yet, but the few short rides i've done on it, i've had no probs at all. although i've not had a bike for over a year i didn't feel any ache's or pains when i started to ride again.... and for £400 it was't a bad buy Very Happy I'm looking forward to getting a proper feel for it this summer though Thumbs Up

I have very fond memories of my time with my GPZ... Thumbs Up a great bike for me
Good reliability, very comfortable, and certainly capable of spirited riding and/or touring

Snap.
Got myself one of these i September as my first big bike. Im 6ft and think its just a little bit too cramped after 1-2hrs riding and i think the screen was meant for smaller japs :0
Great bike so far, but what do I know, its a million times better than a ybr as that's all i know so far he he
Not wanting to bash bfc, but maybe have a look at ex-500.com, its got some great advice on the wiki for new owners and has a list of what needs done to keep it sweet. Ive managed to replace the rear brake caliper myself following the advice there and Im a sausage fingered loon at mechanics. Thumbs Up

Welcome to the forum and the exclusive GPZ 500 owners club.
TBH, I think they are a bit ugly myself but I am the only person who can't see the bike when i ride so who gives a rats !!!!! I have ambitions (that will never happen probably) of re-spraying it white to tart it up a bit. I saw pictures of one and it looks reet swish imho

alot of people say there ugly, but you hit the nail on the head, you can't see what they look like when youre riding it Very Happy after not having a bike for nearly 2 years after i wrappwd up my kwak 636 a week before the TT (gutted!!!) and then getting totally suprised in sep when my bf opened the back of his work van and said "there you go, you can stop moaning now" It really didn't matter what bike it was as long as it was a bike... it could have been rainbow coloured for all i cared. i was just so happy to have a bike again Very Happy Thumbs Up Thumbs Up
