FS: GPZ Turbo

Well I was going to strip and tidy this over this winter, but plans have
changed, so I'm looking to either sell now or in Spring.

Bought a couple of years ago, I've spent quite a bit of cash on this
bike, with really only cosmetics letting it down slightly:

530 chain and sprocket conversion - only done around 1000 miles
Tank and mudguard resprayed
NOS left hand side panel
New front brake pads
Dynacoils
Iridium plugs
New rear tyre only 500 miles old
New screen
New mirrors
Forks have been rechromed but the seals are leaking, still under
warranty from Philpotts, so need returning for fixing.

Stainless brake hoses fitted, but they're not new
The chromed grabrail in the pic is now a black luggage rack, but I still
have the grabrail.
Turbo is good, no play in the spindle
Small idle problem, but road running is top notch

MOT/Tax til Spring


Looking for around £1300

Done a bit of work since the pics, screen, sidepanel and a bit of paint.

Is there somewhere to mount a chair, and is it good on thick snow?

 

Am I being whooshed or is this a rally thread now? No idea to either,
never seen a Turbo with a chair.

We'll see.

 

So is just about anything.

 

May I draw sir's attention to the Elefantenstreffen 2008 thread

 

When the K100RS first came out in 1983 its performance was pretty damn good
for the day.
The mandatory fork stiffening and suspension upgrade had them handling
reasonably too.

Though long product lives have significant benefits it must be said that by
the time the 16v 1000cc was launched 10 years later the world had left them
far behind.

Of course, I'm not suggesting it was a class leader! but it was a decent
bike. The final 1989 RS Ltd with ABS1 was the culmination, a really sorted
machine, but Yamaha launched the 1000EXUP and the rest is history! within a
few weeks I had one with higher bars and full krauser luggage ;o)

 

We'll see.

 

For a start I would bet K's crash a lot better than turbo's!

FWIW the K lump is one of the best engines for turbocharging

 

That'll be a definite bite, then )
