MODEL SUMMARY.
A real survivor this one. Delightful 1993 K Reg. UK supplied Kawasaki GPX600 R, also commonly known as a ZX600 Ninja for most other worldwide markets. Just 3 owners from new, with the original owner retaining possession for 20 years, from 1993 to 2013, and covering just 4800 miles during his ownership. 2 local owners to us following him, whom between them have covered an additional 7500 odd miles, taking the mileage to around 12500 now. Totally original in it’s Firecracker Red and Metallic Canyon Silver colour scheme, it really is incredibly nice, and other for some minor marks to the fairings, all but immaculate. Not to be confused with other similarly aged machines, it’s condition belies it’s age, and as stated is completely original, not re-painted or restored. Mechanically standard, and as the day it left the showroom, other than for K&N air filters, it significantly still wears it’s original silencers, which remain in exceptional condition, and it‘s original 24 year old number plate displaying the supplying dealer‘s details, Felbridge Superbikes, from near East Grinstead, West Sussex. The story goes that the original owner covered 4800 odd miles in the first 2 years of it’s life, and then kept it in his living room for the next 18 years, before selling it to the 2nd owner in 2013, whereupon it was subject to light mechanical recommissioning, and, heavens forbid, used ! The GPX600 moved the game along from the earlier GPZ600, adding 10bhp, all new double cradle frame and much improved damping, and with 85bhp, then as now, had spritely performance with a potential 140mph top speed and sub 12s ¼ mile acceleration. Recent oil change, pads and fork seals. The motor is sweet, and it rides superbly. An opportunity to purchase an interesting and useable modern classic, offering dollops of fun, and one that should prove a reasonable investment. MOTd November 2018
