A friend of mine is looking at getting a bike. A Kawasaki GPZ 500s has come up at my local IAM group. Does anyone have any experience with one of these?
M Reg (1995) 13,000 miles
New chain, shock, battery, pads
?1250 ono
What is the build quality like on these machines? Is it a suitable first bike? Is this a good price? It seems quite a lot to me for a 10 year old bike. What would people consider a good price?
My friend isn't yet 21, so she'll need to get the bike restricted to 33 bhp. Could anyone give me an idea on how much getting the bike restricted might cost?
Also, for my own information, how do restricted bikes behave? Lots of acceleration to 50 then petering out? No power whatsoever? I've never ridden a restricted bike so not sure how they behave.
We've been considering CB500's, ER-5's, Yamaha 600 divvies, bandits etc, but was just wondering what peeps thought of this.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
