Default Gpz500s

1992, 28k, tax and test till next jan or feb.

Not the quickest, scruffy.
Done about 700 miles on this oil + filter, valves been checked, carbs been balanced.
Tyres got plenty tread.
Good on fuel. got some pattern stainless downpipes on it so will not rot like the stock ones.
Stripped and cleaned brakes fairly recently

Been good and reliable for me after small early problem, left it outside for a week in snow and ice while MYC and I looked after dizzyblondes house, started every morning fine for 40 mile round trip to uni. Also rode it to Newcastle and back other week, no issues.

Did drop it a bit (5mph on ice), crack in front fairing at side and snapped end off brake lever, has been welded back together and painted.


Edit:
Chain and sprocket brand new tsubaki and JT set, done just 700 mile

£400

Nother


Started fine after being left in those temps over weekend (though I did crash it at the end of the road, just because it will start doesn't always mean you should...)

Has it been washed regularly and kept free of salt?

Actually fairly free of salt, local council did not feel the need to use much, hence the cracked plastics!

Fine, put this up for sale just after I've bought a cheap Hornet.
