Yep loads. I'd avoid the original one with 16'' wheels, 'obvious tyre choice issues and getting very old now. I'd go for a mid 2000s one with the twin disc although the single disc is fine if you keep the caliper sweet and use decent pads. The standard exhaust is desirable too, it works better than the motad pipe they all end up with and the standard cans are cheap and easy to replace anyway.
Girls tend to fall in love with the electric blue and silver colour scheme which doesn't look too bad, unfortunately the gpz500s was cursed with awful bubblegum wrapper paintjobs and graphics throughout most of its production life (pink and grey with blue pinstripes anyone?).
