Had one just like it in college. Great bike. Rode it from San Diego to San Francisco and back again. I was also one of the guys you read about racing around Palm Springs during Spring Break with a girl in a thong bikini on the back. Good times!

I know a fellow in Nebraska that has a 1983 GPZ1100 that he wants $700 for if anyone is interested. It's in pretty nice shape but he said it has some electrical issues.

All stock, the best way to go on these. They used TK carburetors and jetting parts are pretty rare for those, but Dynojet made a jet kit as of last summer anyway. Web support for GPZ's is not what it should be in my opinion, but triples web support for our beloved vintage smokers is top notch. I love the GPZ's, you have a nice one there!

I love my 84 GPz550. It was sitting in a shed for 10 years and all it needed to be a rider was the basic stuff...oil change, battery and tire. It actually ran somewhat OK on the 10 year old gas that was in the tank. I'm the 3rd owner and I'm good friends with the original owner's brother.
