presentation of the GPZ 900 R 1984

It all began in the exciting year 84, with the birth of the Apple Macintosh, Harry (2nd son of Charles and Diana of England), Scarlett Johansson, Canal +, and the first Ninja: the Kawasaki GPZ 900 R. It's a shock, a fantasy for motorcyclists: beneath its racy appearance (for the time - it would almost seem roadworthy today), the machine barely conceals its 115 hp 4-cylinder engine. The bomb! The high point of its reputation came in 1986, when it appeared in one of the most edgy and best-known films of the 80s: TOP GUN. Tom Cruise on his handlebars, sharing the limelight with an American fighter jet - what a poster! In France, the big GPZ also caused a stir with its crazy race against the TGV. A daring challenge organized by Moto-revue, and won by the Kawa.

Charlie07 Model 1984

Exceptional motorcycle for the 80s, nothing to complain about. 10/25/2019 20:04 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Charlie07

Thierry Malcolm Model 1984

i've had a GPZ ninja 900 since 84. I've had many other bikes since then, of course, but this one I loved madly and have always kept. It has 165OOO kms and has been sitting in my garage for 12 years. Redoing it in "collector" condition would cost me too much. So I'm looking for a Ninja 900 GPZ in collector condition, with or without registration (if it's without registration, I'll use the bike for parts to rebuild mine). 12/10/2018 11:58 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Thierry Malcolm

i've had a GPZ 900 for 7 years. I use it occasionally on country roads (I find it hard to handle in town). 83,000 km on the odometer and everything's working (it passed the technical inspection in October 2024). Great bike, but I need to part with it. Contact me if you're interested. 01/08/2025 10:59 Rating : 4/5 Participate in the conversation
