Yeah the 600 ninja is rare ......back in the day every squid owned one and learned what not to do on a bike ......thereby killing nearly all examples in existence........if you find a 600 in one peice it would make for a sweet ride .......I used to work at a kawasaki dealer in L.A. during the mid 80"s and almost every 600 we sold was back in the shop being rebuild within 2 weeks....... |

Yep, that model is rare, I own a 86 GPZ 600R The other day when I went to bike hospital to look for some spares (which I could not get from the Kawa dealers) I saw quite a few of the 85 models standing on the floor. All messed up off course. It seems to me that it is quite a problem (In South Africa) getting spares etc for the old model bikes. I usually tend to go to bike hospital (old old bike graveyard) for any spares or accessories. |

The early ones do turn up occasionaly, I have an 85' Gpz600r. I bought it a few months ago and since then I have seen 5 or 6 good examples on Ebay for not much money, and a few of those have been here in the south west of England . Ridden well they can still surprise quite a few modern machines.
