“I have had my Gpx for 10 years it has been reliable...”

I have had my Gpx for 10 years it has been reliable and fun and well maintained .

My bike is standard including the exhaust system (bought a std replacement from D&K who import from sunny salt free climes) The reason my review is favorable unlike the previous reviews is all down to maitainance.



The bike is slow by modern 750 standards but fast compared to 600 Bandits sv650`s the steering is quick and has been described as nervous by others

! have changed the tyre sizes from 110 to 120 and 130 to 140 every one will tell you never to mess about with tye sizes but it has transformed the feel of the bike its much nicer now!!!!.

The bike has taken me around Europe without a hitch. It will sit at 100mph on the autobahn, it pulls hard up to 120 and then it take ages to get up to its top speed (145mph on the clock).



The fairings ok but not the best for touring the screens a bit low for sustained highspeed work, Ive got a flip up screen that helps.

Brakes are ok twin piston sliding calipers but the hoses have been replaced with new braded ones.



Keep changing the oil and the filters and if you have bought a good one it will stay a good one. the suspensions ok Hagon do a shock for the bike and its worth the money. The front forks work ok even if the anti dive has given up but its an easy fix if you can get the parts.



I think you can tell I like the Gpx I also have a ZXR750h1 the gpx has the same engine and is lighter!!!!!! I also have an 1988 ZX10 and that is like a hgv compared to the gpx and is only faster/better on the autobahn.

Buy a good one and you will like it buy somethings thats sha**ed out of its brains and in need of tyres chains suspension hoses pads and has never been maintained and it will be a load of rubbish,all bikes will turn into a useless lump unless loved. Bayonet Bill
