The GPX is a very solid 1st/learner bike, Mine went from Cairns to Brisbane & back half a dozen times without an issue, It pays to check the tightness of the handlebar clipons & footpegs every so often as mine used to come loose.

the gpx has treated me well

i ride to and from work everyday rain hail or shine

although i have noticed when i first startd riding i was getting between 400 - 450ks a tank but nowdays i get about 350 all depends on how hard you ride it really i guess

never really had any major issues with the bike itself except the last 2 days im getting possibly speed wobbles which ill be getting checked out tomorrow when i take it in to get looked at as its starting to feel like each now and then that the bike is slipping under me through corners or slight weaving through traffic at around 140 where as it never used too

all in all i think its a great learners bike just a tad small though

Life may begin at 30, but it doesn't get real interesting until about 160.
