I had a GPZ500S many moons ago. It was matt black, held together with gaffa tape and fibreglass and had over 100,000 miles on it when I sold it to a mate. It kept going for another few years with him abusing it then he gave it away to someone because it would cost more than it was worth to buy new tyre, chain etc I went everywhere on that bike

GPZ900 has 2 more cylinders, different animal!


Rest assured I will be doing my best to kill it, and will let you all know if/when it goes BANG.
Oh my f***ing god. I just MOT'd it and it PASSED

But seriously what a gutless POS. I think it's running lean or something. If you catch it just right it will pull reasonable well (like a restricted SV lol) but trying to pull through 5k rpm is torture.
