up.yours Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 the listed faults you mention may well be the tip of the iceberg, tread with caution foamy, it sounds to good to be true at that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wild foamy Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 Cheers for the input lads its much appreciated, there was a GPZ600 on ebay not long ago that failed to sell for £205 with less miles on and the same kinda problems that this GPZ has, i understand that a battery is very much a consumable item (the XJ has averaged 1 a year, batteries are £20), panels are available for £20 and less, and its a 1987, does this change the standing with this bike?

up.yours Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 yup, it may well be worth a punt at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wild foamy Posted January 9, 2012 Author Share Posted January 9, 2012 Seems like the ideal kinda bike if you fancy racing a F-14 down the runway or going off to roger your teacher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator DirtyDT Posted January 9, 2012 Moderator Share Posted January 9, 2012 Seems like the ideal kinda bike if you fancy racing a F-14 down the runway or going off to roger your teacher I think that was the GPZ900 Foamy. Still really heavy and scary at speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator DirtyDT Posted January 9, 2012 Moderator Share Posted January 9, 2012 Never met him Kev but hopefully he will turn up for the camping weekend and buy a round. He must be saving a fortune not riding that Turbo of his around. My mate had one back in the day. It was riding a coal wagon but didn't handle quite as well. .

wild foamy Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 No I still felt it was too much money to be spending, I did make a cheeky offer but not heard anything more I wouldn't mind buying a few beers at the camping weekend, maybe finding myself some hot young biker chick and rock the tent a bit, I may only weigh 60kg but its not the size of the hammer but the length of the nail that counts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
