Kawasaki GPZ900R 1985 Very nice!

This very nice GPZ9R came to us from a genuine enthusiast of this model, he actually p/x’d for another 9R. This was his 4th red one and he fancied a blue one for a change. Popped in to see our stock, saw our lovely blue one and the deal was done. When he bought his one he noticed it had a very slight oil weep on the head gasket, so head off, fully stripped, skimmed just in case, then all the valves were lapped in prior to it being bolted back on, clearances set and carbs balanced. Tyres are very recent. Paintwork wise it was totally refinished but with an extra bit of sparkle in the red, catch it in the sun light and it really does make it “ping”. The rest of the mechanics he just went through the bike, anything that was needed he did. All this was done by the owner himself as he is a very competent mechanic so why trust someone else to do the work for him? it does mean that there are no receipts though. So while no, i cannot guarantee it,i have absolutely no reason to doubt the man. So what we have is a nice looking and riding earlier GPZ900 in good overall condition ( pictured as arrived so not cleaned by us yet).
But,and i do have to point this out as some people struggle to understand this. It is over 40 years old, it WILL have its own foibles and will not drive or behave like a brand new CBR1000 blade. If you do not understand this please refrain from buying a classic bike, they messed about when new, we just like to forget that bit.Thanks. G
