1984 Kawasaki GPZ 550-A1, 553cc. Registration number B503 TCK. Frame number ZX550A-008480. Engine number KZ550DE050367.
Derived from the Z500, Kawasaki's first offering in the '550' category was the GPz550 of 1981, which in typical Kawasaki fashion immediately set new performance standards for the class. That first twin-shock D1 model lasted for only a single season before being superseded by a revised H1 version boasting mono-shock (Uni-Trak in Kawasaki parlance) rear suspension. Another major revision occurred in 1983 and in this restyled form the GPz550 lasted in the range into 1988, despite the fact that its place as Kawasaki's top sports middleweight had been taken by the GPz600 a few years previously. Before then, in 1983, a touring version equipped with shaft drive – the Z550GT – had been added to the line-up and this immensely successful model would enjoy one of the longest production runs of any Kawasaki motorcycle, lasting into 2002.
Owned by Graham Hunt from2012 until 2015 when Phillip Brown bought it. There are bills for over £1200 over the last few years, including fork seals, carb overhaul, brakes and swinging arm bearing.
Sold with the V5C, MOT until August 2023, old MOTs and service receipts, it was ridden into our premises.
