Well, finally I have bought a bike Thumbs Up

And here it is

https://i1139.photobucket.com/albums/n543/groovypiss/Ninja_zpsa3e0134f.jpg

Please forgive the potato pic, the lens on my camera is a bit knackered Laughing

It is a 1996 gpz500, with 31k on it. Picked it up from benfleet in the back of the wifes espace, just needed to take the screen and mirrors off ( the bike, not the car Laughing ). So far, I'm absolutely loving it, but it has a few niggles that I need to play with over the coming weeks, so there will be some posts going up in the workshop Thumbs Up

Cheers all,

Lee

Nice bike mate! I've got a 1999 GPZ500 in red and without the full fairing, yours looks so much better with it.

Cheers guys Thumbs Up Its definitely greeeeeeeeeeeen! Laughing I don't think the SMIDSY defence would work on this one lol.

The fairing looks great from a distance, but close up isn't so good really. I might have to go down the route df a tart up and respray next year Thumbs Up

I don't see how a 500 is a Ninja, but hoorah, bikey!

I think it is more of a yank thing? It is a GPZ, but even the v5 can't make it's mind up, saying its an EX. Rolling Eyes
