1988 Kawasaki GPZ500S review from United Kingdom
"Great first proper bike"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
No issues.
General comments?
This is a great bike for the new out of the blocks full licence holder. It has great acceleration, and it gives out very positive vibes through the bends. If you're new to bigger bikes, I could not suggest a better buy.
I have picked up a really cheap one from eBay with some major scuffs etc, but everything that needs to be intact is.
The only drawback of this bike for me is the seat height, I am 6'1" tall and have to squeeze onto it, but I do fit!!!
