    Good Points: Reliability, handling (for an old un).Comfort - especially 2 upStill got berzerko road useable top end (True 150 plus) that WILL surprise more modern supersports bikes on real roads unless they are actually thrashed.


    Bad Points: 16" front wheel models take getting used to (don't shut off completely......ever) 17" models far better but restricted. Change carbs/airbox to early ones to get a proper 115bhpSports Tyres now impossible to get hold of, so touring rubber only.Metzeler comp K's & Avon supersports were the dogs!


    General comments: It may be old, but it's no compressor!Kawasaki GPZ900Rs were the first real 150+ mph machines and today it is still rather fast in the right hands, if a bit of a handful. TT proddie winners 2 years running is a good heritage.As said above it is heavy at over 520lbs but carries the weight low so doesn't feel quite as heavy as it actually is. They can really do it all, tour to italy 2 up at ton plus all the way, commute or scratch (build big muscles!) They are rather dated but have a purposeful look about them that attracts attention.

    Insurance is a real boon for a motorcycle less than a £100, reliability is great they built bikes to last in the eighties, it can tour, scratch and it keeps you honest it makes you ride the bike not just sit there and let it do the work, on a 900r you interact wih it
    The only bad point on mine was the starter clutch has gone, it means a full engine strip to replace.
    I have owned many bikes over the years ranging from an R6 to a K4 GSXR750, (one of the best ever built) and all I have ever ...

    The Kawasaki GPZ900R is heavy, by modern standards. The 16" front wheel on early models like the A1 makes tyres difficult to find, & leads to a strange feeling with the handling. The back end feels like is a second or two behind the front. The anti-dive doesn't help with this on early models.

    An early taxed & tested Geep can be had for well under a £K. For a reliable bike, BARGAIN! And, in due time, they will be a collectable classic.
    The running expenses of my Ninja ZX9-R are making ...
