I've been playing around with a Kwak GPZ500 or EX500 for a year or so! It got bent went after being hit by a van driver on auto pilot. It's been heavily chopped and shaped at the rear and kinda street fightered at the front... I have tried to junk anything that seemed pointless and did everything on a shoe string (most expensive thing I did was replace the rear tire) I'd consider it a bit of a rat and it sure to be after it has seen a couple of british winters!! But I suppose the question has to be at what point does a bike become a rat? Or is it all a matter of personal oppinion?
