Summer of 2023 :)

Wow, can't believe it, 44 years of riding under my belt this year, all of which (including the rain soaked holidays) was worth it. And one of the most reliable bikes I've had the pleasure of owning is definately the GPZ500. Reliable, dependable and enjoyable - all the things a woman should be - in a small package :)

Anyway, here's mine, freshly serviced, oil, filter, plugs checked, timing chain adjusted, new exhaust wrap applied, cleaned ad polished up ready for some serious Highland Touring! Total costs of al that - £30. The seat cushion "thingy" is a recent addition owing to my dodgy prostate, I'll let you know how comfortable it is after a months use.

Enjoy the Summer of 2023 everyone :)

Bike looks incredible and ready to get to the whindys. Good luck and be safe.
Where did you come up with the back rack on there?
