This is a very competitive bike! I chased it many times . This is a very fair price. Steve Darlington
I specialize in Kawasaki air cooled 4 strokes from the seventies and early eighties 550-1100 .I also network with others and can search for parts on your behalf .

That's fantastic Brian!

...perhaps it should be mentioned that I have previous GPz550 endurance race experience, you know if the contract negotiations don't work out with the other 2...can't beat that name though! :lol:

Hey Motorshire 747, now that you think that there may be another GPZ team out there that may take the GPZ cup away from us, you are jumping ship 8) And here I thought we were teaching buddies and friends :roll:
