Well I said I wouldnt do it - Sad sell my little CBR 125 after he got me through my A2 test - but I have just put a deposit on a Kwak GPZ 500S Very Happy . Got to wait till i get back from holiday before I can get it though - need the money from the CBR when I sell it to finance the Kwak. Also, if anyone else has a GPZ 500 let me know what you think about the bike any info regarding the Kwak would be greatly appreciated Thumbs Up

capable bike, the GPZ.. don't let Craig's horror stories put you off... my old Fplate one had 78000 miles on it before I lobbed it head on into a car...

Had done 300 mile rides to Aberdeen from south of Glasgow in all conditions with no problems performance or comfort wise..

need any help with it, drop me a PM.. I did a fair bit of work on mine before it died, including an engine rebuild (thanks to the previous owner breaking it before I got it)

Make sure the valve clearances are done tho.. a common problem is bad valve clearances work harden the rocker arm lobes, which get brittle and break. Needs to be pretty bad to get to that stage tho.
