looking at a bike.. gpz600 zx600?

[Pol Anorl]

Watching a bike near me on ebay, seller says

Kawasaki zx600

item specifics says

Manufacturer: Kawasaki
Model: zx600
Type: Super Sport
Date of 1st Registration: 01/08/1985

Now i went to get an insurance quote used registration from the bike it comes back as a gpz 600, i know they are near identicle but now im confused, is it a gpz 600 or zx600 or false plate?

just went through his feedback he has buyer feedback

all good turned up when said
kawasaki gpz 600 (#290686014148)

so hes trying to pass it off as a zx600...

price of bike atm is £300 no reserve

Hi

From memory, both are correct names. ZX600 was the real code name while GPZ600 was the marketing name.

All the best

Wouldn't bother.

It's a massive false economy to buy a 500 quid no tax or test bike that's old when for 600 more you can get a tatty hornet or similar.

After tyres, chain and sprockets and sorting out little niggles it works out the same.

1985! fuck that! look to spend about £1500 on a late 90's early 00's bike.

That would be for the best, all things considered.

As others have said, I wouldn't bother, it can more often than not be false economy to try and sort out a few niggles and then MOT and tax a bike, when you can buy a decent (ish) runner for around the same sort of money.

You could pick up a MK1 Bandit for around £700, I sold mine with 12 months MOT and tax and a fair whack spent on bits, C+S Kit, coils, plugs, fork seals, tyres, oil cooler and other bits for £800.

Depends, as said above, I bought a '96 GPZ500 cheap and in the end, after replacing bits like chain/sprockets, discs, I have come out with spending the same on what I would have on a newer GPZ, and yet i've still got a worse paint job


However, the 80's bikes do look alot nicer than the 90's, and if it's the 80's look you like then whatever

I do NOT recommend you to buy GPz600R, these motorcycles are wrecks and if you want one that is rideable then you're gonna spent fortune on them.

For these bikes you've got to be more then a rider
