from his garage to ours is the furthest its been ridden this year, a whole 50 meters at most...

Well under use can be a lot worse than over use in the long run, more so for the engine / brakes etc

yours should be good for a while yet... 68k and still running perfect..

bikes last really well from the 80's onwards, used bike guide reckon the ol GPz should manage 80,000 miles before it croaks completely..

there is a GPz 550 on flebay ATM, advertised as having a knock at tickover (but always has) don't think he realises they did that from new, its backlash in the clutch basket, Kawasaki are infamous for it!

I'll keep an eye on that one, if it looks like it's going for a song, it could be a good spares bike

Although it's shaft drive and not chain

i'm watching that one, if it goes for a song, i'm gonna bid, and stick a new clutch in it and sell it on..

Still thinking about the Honda plate, it too could be moved up by removing all the mounting bracket/reflectors etc and it would be reversable

Different, not quite sure why you would have the Union Jack on one side and the Stars & Stripes on the other

Looks like a nice paint job
