The Kawasaki Z500/Z550 series began with the 1979 Z500, a scaled-down version of the Kawasaki Z1R. It used a double-cradle steel frame with a transverse-mounted air-cooled 4-cylinder DOHC (Double Over Head Cam) engine; a classic Universal Japanese Motorcycle. Kawasaki was doing very well in GP racing and developed a higher performance version of the KZ550. The GPz used the same size 553cc engine, but featured higher compression, and camshafts with higher lift and more duration, and a bikini fairing.
This 1986 Kawasaki GPZ 550 displays just 12,671 miles from new and has only had one previous owner, incidentally, the current owner has not added any miles of use since it was purchased. A very original machine and indeed a fast-appreciating classic of today. The GPz is offered with a current V5C, its warranty and service book, owner’s manual, and a collection of old MOT certificates.
