1991 Kawasaki GPZ900R review from United Kingdom
"A very fast bike at a very affordable price"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Seat cover erodes quickly, especially if kept outside, and the over complex cooling system often needs attention.
General comments?
Brilliant bike in its day, and it still keeps up with modern superbikes. If you want a fast superbike, but do not have thousands of pounds, this bike is the business. Capable of 160 mph with acceleration to match.
Very reliable and easy to maintain.
