I found a cheap GPz

As some of you know I put ads on Craigslist looking to buy older bikes in any condition. I get about 20 emails a day, mostly for overpriced crap I don't want. Examples just this week were 82 Honda Silverwing that needs battery and rear shock rebuild for $2100 and a CB 350 without title and could not even roll because it was solid rust for $750. You guys know as well as I do that some people think there old bike is valuable just because it is old.
Well yesterday I got an email from a guy with what he says is a 82 GPz 550. It is titled and runs but has sat 2 years. Also comes with another GPz 550 engine that has been torn apart. He was asking $500 for it but I will be picking it up tomorrow or Tuesday for $200. Looks like it will be any easy fixer upper. Just plan on making it look half way decent, make it run well and then sell it. I am not a GPz expert by any means so hopefully someone with more knowledge will chime in here.

good score.
hate living here on the island never any deals here lol.

Good deal...I'd jumped on that too.

I certainly don't need any more bikes but for 200 bones I would have had a hard time saying no to that. Nice score Shane. It's too bad you didn't have that bike at Mid-Ohio a couple of years ago, would have made things much easier on the Momba crew.

Yeah, I'd jump on it, and try to keep it.
A buddy of mine bought one last year for $250, not running. It took very little work to get her going.

nice....good score and a fun bike too....there is a military housing base here and guys lose interest in bikes and some are cheap...about once every two months i see long sitting but low miles bikes for about half what they e-bay for...plate is full for now though...peace...nice bike

All I can say is that's not an '82 or '83. I don't remember all the differences, but that's an '84 or later. Probably still a good buy though.
