Fantastic handling bikes -almost flawless. The 1983 GpZ 550 was probably the best of the 550 series. I put around 50,000 miles on my ‘83 GpZ 550. I had a Kerker exhaust system and also the much better looking aftermarket ‘Napoleon’ bar end style mirrors. The bike was positively sublime on twisty roads. Yes, I do miss the bike, very much. Not many of these have survived unscathed, and I understand finding many of the replacement parts for these GpZ bikes can be difficult. But, the memories….

I miss mine even more after watching this video. I bought a 1982 GPZ550 new when I worked at a Kawasaki shop in Maine. I've owned many bikes since that, but it still is the one that left a lasting impression even after all these years. I'd love to have one as nice as yours. That bike did everything I needed. I put almost 40,000 miles on it with zero issues. I even rode it from Maine to Florida and back. Talk about the ultimate UJM.

It’s always good to see this on the road! I have mine, and I’m the original owner... but it’s more of a doorstop at this moment!

Had a Z500, this bikes older brother. I had so much trouble getting, and keeping, the carbs balanced, that I decided not to get a GPZ550 when they came out. I still regret that decision. And, if a GPZ550 came up, at a sensible price, today. I'd buy it.
