New here, not new anywhere else

I've had my GPZ 550 for about 20 years now.

It is a retired Box Stock racer returned to street use, then crashed.

I got it from an aquaintance who bought it crashed, bought some parts to restore, then "had" to get married.

I bought it and put it back on the road and I've been slowly restoring it over the years. I recently finished with replacing the broken instrument panel and ignition switch cover.

It was modified with a 594(?) piston kit, head work, S&W shocks and Progressive fork springs. Needless to say, it revs like crazy!

I know the guy that did the engine work (he works mostly on British cars now) so I can get anything fixed that I can't do.

My wife rode it for about 3 years and it hasn't gotten many miles since then. It definately needs a repaint from the dozens of rock chips.

welcome......great bikes those are....i've only had the kz 550 once but it was way fun.....great wifey bike too...i am thinking of teaching my girl ,but try as i might the kz900 just freaks her out.....she said the other day she wants a smaller bike to learn to shift and such.........welcome and enjoy....craig

Nice! I've always been a fan of the first GPZ line. Would love to have them lined up in my garage GPZ 305,550,750,1100!

Nice herd...and welcome!

Very nice and welcome aboard.

Kawasaki hit it right with the GPz and that fire engine red.

Alright, another 550!

I would love to do some mods to my motor(big bore kit).
