Just picked up this gem of an '81 GPZ 1100!

27 Jul 2025 18:40 - 28 Jul 2025 05:39

Still blown away that this one was still available yesterday after being listed on Cycletrader for nearly a month! all new bodywork and fresh paint, Wiseco 1135 kit, New Mikuni 38s, new V&H pipe, New Dyna 2000, undercut trans, Katana wheels with a 180 rear, Came with job sheets and dyno report along with receipts for nearly 5k in motor and trans work. She is a beast!

Looks like a blast to ride, especially when leaning in tight-right turns...
