Re: yc has a GPZ 500
I was very pleasantly surprised when I rode one - great handling bike with a nice engine too - nothing to be ashamed of!

Re: yc has a GPZ 500
I'm sure the rice puddings all over the country won't be shivering in terror.
Slow as fook, but what do you want for £200. Will get me to work/uni and back, and I won't care about having tyres etc. which will perform AND last. It means I can put cheng s**ts on the GPZ and some sticky rubber on the SV  Quote:
Rest assured I will be doing my best to kill it, and will let you all know if/when it goes BANG.

Re: yc has a GPZ 500
Good evening all.
I've always likened them to a hand grenade looking for a war  They're ok if maintained correctly, but I have found that they aren't very durable in most areas, & have an annoying habit of wearing their camshafts out at relatively low mileages, along with the rear suspension linkage bushes, exhausts, steering bearings, cush drive rubbers, etc etc. Good job Chris is good with the spanners innit! Cheers. P.S. Better join the AA
