I sold my old GPX 750R recently and when you look at the photo in the earlier posts you'd have been struggling to tell them apart from a distance. The styling looks exactly the same, screen, seat everything. The gpx was badged up as a ninja, in fact I think it was the first one, the bike was a 1986 model and was brought out at the same time as the first ZXR750. I had the bike for 7 yrs, covered 20,000 miles on it and sold it for £800 less than I paid. It ran as sweet as anything, sounded very throaty with a real induction roar to it and had screw and locknut adjustable tappets so you could service it yourself. Would have kept it but just hadn't the space in the garage and couldn't really justify keeping hold of it having just spent out to buy a new SV's.
