Hey guys, got my eyes open for a new bike

Looking for a 600cc+ (or 500 if I can find the right one) sports or normal road bike.

anything upto 2000 really, as i doubt my budget will let me get a bike from this decade lol

If you're selling or know anyone selling one give us a buzz.

GPZ900 and SRADs are up on my lists of fancied bikes.

Cheers

I'm guessing you got the idea of the GPz from Top Gun?

You would be VERY hard pressed to find a more reliable engine. Those things are bulletproof... I had the 550 for years and it just ran and ran and ran. The one flaw was the camchain tensioner in them. It's a 2 second fix but if it jams it sounds like a rattly old tractor till you fix it.

I think they look the shit :D

Have a GPZ600 on my tardme list, though they're rarer for parts and have 16" wheels, so I doubt I'll get that.

Na - and a totally different style. I rode my IL4 alongside the gPX and the older bike proved it was better time and again.

Well I might hang on for it for a little while or for ages, depends what happens.

has 25,000km on the clock. got an issue with the front brake at the moment. If i were to sell it as is, about $2800 I guess.
