1989 Kawasaki GPX750R review from United Kingdom
"Very good, great fun"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Nothing but exhaust rusting through, not bad for 20 years old, I am really impressed with this twenty year old bike.
Getting 45 MPG.
General comments?
For a 750cc bike and twenty years old, very impressed. I have been riding bikes since I was 16 years old, am 56 now.
Handles great.
Brakes great.
Exhaust starting to blow, got to buy complete thing, no front pipes, so will get MOTAD replacement.
Over the last 15 years, have always had a Harley's and a rice burner, in the garage, as well as a BSA C15, these have to be kept on the road for future generations.
