I've never heard of/seen a gpz 475. Very nice looking bike, where they an import?

Love the racer with the red number plates must be an old F3 machine very nice.............

I wonder what sort of HP it makes

The two stroke racer looks fun too

Is the two stroke a KH?

Yeah I think it is a KH of some sort maybe even a 400................
I know they made 250 400 500 and 750 3 cylinder two strokes so take your pick

I've seen a 500 but not a 400. Shame they don't make big two strokes anymore, they were so much fun.

here you go.............

And I think there was a 350 as well

Sweet, I wouldn't like to go round corners on it mind.

I actually had a KH250 in fact I owned two of them a purple 1976 one and in 1980 I bought a brand new one complete with FLF bodywork, mag whels and expansion chambers.

It was a great handling wee bike I could get the pipe down on the left side.............

The 500 and 750 were reputed to have a hinge in the middle of the frame somewhere

but rocketship fast

Had a "scarey" time on a tuned 250 , slightest twitch on the throttle and the thing was up in the air - great for straight line possing but getting away from junctions fast was a nightmare

The 750 was the original "Coffin maker" or "Black widow" and for many years held the quarter at santa pod - think it still does in it's class.

They produced them in: 90,125,250,350,400,500 & 750 versions.

Also known as SS250 & 350 with the 500 as a H1 and 750 as a H2.

Notorious for overheating in the centre pot and was advisable to put in a couple of grades down cooler plug in it.

Saw a nice Red one at the Ace cafe that had been bored out to 666cc - no horns on it though

I am sure the racer pictured was a 500 but couldn't find the info for it again.

I thought the swingarm on the Green GPz/Zephyr was a convertd Zephyr one but the drag slots look wrong
