1988 Kawasaki GT 550 review from Australia
"Perfect, well built motorcycle"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Carby seals split - $20 fix.
Some electrical issues.
Wear and tear on the seat.
General comments?
Not majorly fast, but still has a fair bit of go.
Comfy as.. something.. bloody comfortable.
'OK' on fuel.
Mega reliable.
