Hi all. A year ago I didn't even know that Kawasaki made a GPZ in the 90s. I 
was looking for a replacement for my threadbare 84 Ninja 900. Something a 
little comfier with more low end grunt and the ZX14 was not in the budget. I 
spent a year looking for a low mileage Connie but the few I found were way 
overpriced.
I saw a month old ad in a local weekly swap and sell it guide for a 95 GPZ 
with 4k on it. I spent a couple days searching the web and found 
http://list.gpz1100.com/ and a handful of other sites. That weekend I went 
and saw the bike and was blown away by the condition of the bike. It looked 
like a brand new bike, other than a couple of silly Superman stickers (any 
tips on removing stickers?)
The guy had been listing it locally for a month and hadn't had any takers. I 
bought it for $2000.00.
Compared to most of you guys on the list I am a casual rider at best but I 
put about 6000 miles on her last year just as she was. This year I plan on 
some upgrades, I already picked up some gen mars and a stage 1 dynojet kit, 
and have a zero gravity sport touring windscreen on its way.
I'll probably be driving you all nuts with NewB questions in the near 
future, but hey you let me join ;P
