Hi there,
welcome to the forum
as for the bike GPZ is a good work horse style bike with a bit of sportyness to it! good for learning and/or a winter hack, in you mind what is your ideal bike? as if its a sports bike then the GPZ is a good start as it has a sporty position and you can learn how to ride it without biting you in the arse too badly!
what are the details of the bike, year, price?

yup, i hope to goto 600 sports or v-twin(749 duke maybe) next summer.Im glad im making at least a good start on the bike.

its a 1991, has had one lowside in the past but of apart from a couple of scuffs(im sure i will do worse )and in good condition for age, little rust.

full years m.o.t and tax

new chain and sprockets.

good front tyre, comes with a new rear tyre(not fitted)

re-built gear box, with clutch and engine inspected at the same time, and given the all clear.

40,000 miles.

its a friends bro's bike so the guy is trusted.

i've checked rear shock, front forks, hpi, head bearing all fine.

all for the grand total of £650


sound ok?
