    Hey all!

    Contemplating another machine for my already full garage? Theres two i'm looking at (Im a nut for old ones!) a 1989 Kawa GPZ500s and a 1990 Yammy XJ600(Pre divvy)

    whats peoples opinions on preference? Im taking towards the XJ as its a bit more retro looking but not sure!

    Neither my cup of tea but if I had to choose it would be the XJ as I had a XJ550 briefly when they came out. It was a nice bike in many ways but I was 'trading up' from a 350LC and once I got the XJ I couldn't keep up with my mates who stayed with LC's!! Only kept it two months before going back to Elsie.

    Anyway I thought you were supposed to be selling up bikes to fund a wedding, change of heart? ; )

    GPZ. They made the 500 for donkeys years so spares are 2 a penny.

    You could probably find a ZZR for similar money though which is a lot more bike for your beer tokens (and again massive production run = lots of spares).

    Sorry not up on my VFR's although I know some love 'em, my mate ran his for nearly 8 years, 110k miles and no major problems in all that time. I think depends whether good or 'absolutely spotless' as then getting to be a bit collectible. Good cond makes it just another 90's bike so worth what someone will pay against all the other options.
