Gosh, even the corners of the taillight are intact. Looks nice but is certainly not immaculate.
Somebody has bid on it.
Not sure how legit the JDM indicators would be over here, these days.
The main problem would be derestricting it. Still would make a fun weekender on club historic reg.

Saw this one and was impressed that it was all there. Only thing that put me off buying it was the later style front indicators and plus I have two in parts to put my other good one back on the road. Couldn't justify a 4th no matter how good value it was.

From what I have gathered from Jap websites, the cams were different part numbers on the restricted JDM bikes, among other changes. The JDM bikes were rated at 77PS at the crank which is around 25-29PS down on the best of the export versions. That is quite a hit.

We'll know when Artificial Intelligence has really arrived when Google Translate can translate a Japanese website and make more than just a semblance of sense.
I gathered that there was a Japanese GPX Owners Club around 15 years ago which seemed to be well patronised. Things tapered off and the stalwarts carried on modifying and posting until around 2008.
