Hey guys found out my 87 GPX 250 is an import model

besides it having diff tail lights and twin rotors on the front, what else is different between the import model and the standard model? and is it a good thing its an import or is it going to cause me hassels?

As a rule, imports are harder to insure and find parts for.

But times are a changin

All GPX and ZZR 250 riders - be aware there are already blinkers in your bike (either side of tailight :lol:

) and they are just painted over.
Undo the screws, get into it with some thinners and put bulbs in.
Not ADR but as they are not far enough apart but it does look pretty smart.

f.y.i. some are actually replacement plastic inserts and not painted lenses
