Very nice Kaw man! Did that, by chance, come out of NC? ???

Dave 03-27-2009 11:39 PM

sweet! what size is that and how much did she go for if you dont mind my asking?

oh and moar pics!

Nice. I have dial-up so the picture came in slowly, from the top down. When I saw the color and Kawi sticker, I thought it was the 750 turbo. But then I saw the 5 after the GPZ. Most of the youngsters here won't know the significance of this bike.

I'm usually not into the older bikes, but this one caught my eye.

The 750KZ (some of quickest bikes ever built) evolved into the 750GPz They were good bikes...great find

Tom Cruise rode a 900GPz in Top Gun

Very nice. My brother still has his '85 GPZ550 that he bought new.

Those are nice bikes and fun to ride.

i love the old gpz bikes. kill for a 750 turbo or 900. great pickup man!

ZUKIMON 03-29-2009 01:18 AM

How did those turbo bikes run?

OTB 03-29-2009 07:47 AM

Like a two-stroke on steriods......they were all running lower compression to prevent detonation on boost, so they had a little less oomph off boost, and then the turbo came on with a yeeeeeehaaaaaa. I had a Yam 650 Turbo that would spin up the tire exiting turns with any kind of verve....made for some interesting times......
