picked it up today, its an old L reg but it runs so smoothly!

couple of dings and it has been dropped on its right side once upon a time.

been advised the downpipe could be troublesome shortly, so might replace that, but the tyres look next to new, exhaust sounds awesome, paintwork overall okay.

its a damn sight better than the GT anyway!

sorry for the excitement, but its left me a happy guy!

Looks a decent bike Thumbs Up

Early to mid 90's paint schemes rock Cool I might just be saying that because my ZZR looks like a shell suit though.

I do love GPX600's, I think the GPX series is overlooked somewhat.

Always wanted a black and white GPX600, but the red scheme is the most common Smile

I had a rough idea i would be getting this bike a few days before i saw you post, and when i saw yours i was pretty impressed Thumbs Up

how have you found the bike?


i think they can be overlooked thanks to the GPZ being around,i see far more GPZs on the road than these (dont think i've ever saw one on the road to be fair!)


and yeah...i do love the paint scheme...Kawa green and black might have been nice too though hehe!

I did consider green and black, but though plain black would be easier.
