The biggest load of rubbish I've ever had! Styling is so outdated now it looks, weighs, and handles like a house. Never again. There are better bikes to be had out there for naff all cash, just keep walking if you see one.
Due to moving house I'm forced to part with my GPX600R. Shame - it's a 1996, done 14000 miles, showroom condition, data tag, new tyres, long MOT, and I only want £1650 for it. It's an outstanding bike for the money! This is the second one I've had. I sold my first one 'cause I fancied a change, but was sorry I sold it so I bought another exactly the same - 1996 N reg in Red Purple and Grey. This has got to be the cheapest sportsbike on the market - and these bikes are no slouches!
Cheap, fast, light and with a low seat height. Just make sure you check the suspension, bearings and condition of the exhaust. Ohh and once the tyres are down to 2mm - junk 'em.
Overall a very underrated bike.

Great bike with loads of poke and with decent comfort & handling. Cheap to run... over 50 mpg and low insurance. Pity about the flimsy plastics and crap tyre choice. Parts cheaper new from Kawa dealer than from breaker (I saved a couple of quid on handle bars). Pick a decent one up for £1200. GPX/Z owners club too!! I'm not the quickest of riders... but I have not been blown away yet!!

Cheap, fast, reliable and..... cheap!! I paid £1300 for a '94 model with 17000 miles on it, last year. Not too bad to work on... low insurance (£90 pa TP, F&T) and it can run with the bigger boys.
