What's under the flap in the middle? Bottle bank?

One of my best mates owned one of those and fell off it a few times. He always blamed himself for the mishaps but changed his mind after PXing the GPX for a ZXR400. He reckoned the GPX was shit.

Weeksy had a GPX, don't ask him about it.

I had a GPZ600R, it's predecessor. It was shit (but then I did only pay £650 for it).

Tim offered the GPX to another of our friends to road test and see what he thought of it. Mike's verdict was damning - 'if you can ride that you can ride anything'.

Both the 750 and 600 GPX in stock trim,were slappy bastards when provoked. Fast but fickle,like a lot of K offerings in their day.

Saw this parked up the other day, haven't seen one for ages.
There was a time when this bike was very special, I had a poster of one on my bedroom wall when they came out. I bet I'd be disappointed now but back then I used to drool over it.

Yeah I (with help from @crust ) did a mini refurb on one given to me for buttons by 2ptjoe

It was for Mrs Weeksy as a present. She rode it once, declared it shit and was sold 3 days later. I had in excess of 140 on the clocks on its test ride. It was a long old barge of a thing. The tyres were challenging, as too was the handling. I liked it.

It's all about perspective isn't it.
In 85, the 'best' car you could buy was a ferrari 288 GTO, which cost the best part of Barnsley!
Gf brother had a gpz6, and compared to my mk2 Z1000ST, it was Brill, likewise the gpx, local dealer counter boy got one of the first in the country, again, a step forward from the gpz.
Compare either to a 2000 cbr6, and suddenly not so good.

Anyway, back on topic

I quite liked the GPZ600R but was a strange riding position as i felt you sat "in it" rather than on it in comparison to everything else i had ridden before it. It was tiny in comparison to the barge like GPZ1000RX which was a bastard to turn quickly. The 900R was a better bike IMHO.
