Start up and walkaround 1985 Kawasaki GPz 600R Ninja

Last startup and rev of my '85 Kawasaki GPZ 600R Ninja still pretty hearty for 55k miles.
It had a full restoration new metzler tires, yoshimura R&D exhaust, carb/valve work 6 months prior but was sold to an irresponsible kid who laid it down slow speed going too fast into an intersection/dui.

The previous owner got it back from the tow company and sold to me. I got it over 110mph was pretty stable. I highly recommend anyone that has a chance to ride/try out this bike. This was the first Ninja 600R and 600 that laid down the blueprint for all the superbikes later. This one just needed lots more TLC. New owner rocking it now and plans to fully restore it.

@shockofgod See I wasn't born when my bike was made in 85 haha But I do appreciate the build quality of mine. A bit on the heavy side but runs like a charm just crossed 4k miles on it. I already watched that vid of yours over a month ago lol

@vulture12 oh yeah man I had a zx-10 a white old school. Look for my video titled "Motorcycle rider asks cop to race" that's me on the motorcycle asking the cop lol. I loved that bike good times...
