The Kawasaki GPZ 400 is long, narrow and relatively lightweight, making for quick, responsive handling. The Kawasaki GPZ 400's suspension’s a bit budget and nearly always needs replacing on older models but does the job. Brakes likewise. The front end’s a bit frisky on bumpy roads but, overall, it’s incredibly easy to ride and very forgiving.
