1986 Kawasaki Ninja GPZ600R
A classic 1980s Kawasaki sport bike.
The 1986 Kawasaki Ninja GPZ600R is pure mid-80s sport-bike nostalgia — full fairing, sharp lines, and a punchy liquid-cooled four that loves to rev. This example was reconditioned by Merriam Cycle and left the shop as a turn-key classic Kawasaki ready for the road.
