This is one gorgeous vintage sportsbike. The blue and gray graphics, make the gorgeous red paintjob pop. I remember these bikes, being a ten year old kid at the time. I loved them back then, and still do. Fast bike!

I love the 80s style sport bikes...

[@JuhaEerikki]

I was a teenager in 1983 and this was my dream bike along the Suzuki Katana GSX1100.

[@WesNorton-xd1ln]

Omg!!! I miss mine so much sold it in 2001. I had a big bore kit installed a went to carbs. Makes my R1 still feel slow.

[@train1962]

I have mine that I purchased leftover in the spring in 1984.😁

[@johngaller278]

I miss mine horribly.

[@colmcc-ij3nn]

AHA !Thats the bike i bought as soon as i passed my test .Although yours is in much better nick .Thats a nice one .Next up was the cbr1000 f h model ..Your gpz will sell in a heartbeat 😮

[@1PITIFULDUDE]

I had a Silver, fuel injected one. Loved that bike.

[@marlinmr7]

Oh yeah! Added this to my watch list on ebay... 👍👍👍

[@chrishill3737]

there we go I had a gpz550 with a kerker megaphone and a stage 3 carb setup in my late 20s the bike was so much fun to ride I had the full racing gear.the color was black and red factory color I got clocked a 135 on the mid cape highway exit 1 sagamore bridge going to work at my parents shop. The cop pulled in behind me and got a $300 ticket back in the late 90s

[@angrytater2456]

Nowadays you would have been cuffed, lol. Probably take the bike.

[@patrickscholl7585]

[@paulgrogan8032]

Iconic, the Ninjas father. I'm not a sticker guy but this baby needs the no b.s. decal like Mavericks 🤭

[@796andy2]

[@yiannishayabusaofficial]

AMAZING BIKE

[@JW-zs1pz]

I own a gpz550 and 750gpz. That was the big dog of the series the 1100 gpZ!!! Awesome Kawasaki!! Lucky man, the bike party continues!!

[@ELECTRICEYE1776]

I miss the sounds of those bikes

[@wdhewson]

Nothing beats the rip of a big Zed !!!

[@rover100bunson]

Don't seem to see these beasts for sale very often

[@ronlawson5819]

The mighty GPZ awesome

[@laurent4561]

J’adore 🎉 ride on ! I took my gpz went for a ride the engine feels good ✈️👍

[@Fogman5678]

Kaplan is like the Jay Leno of 2 Wheels. Gets too ride these machines at his liesure. Envious!

[@wayno23]

And modern rear suspension no twin shocks.

[@freewheelinduke5342]

yesss, same as mine, but 900 gpz mirrors and black screen driver.....

[@shinethelight01]

Nice!

[@vicpnut1]

Does it top out uNader 140 because of a sprocket or 5 speed or what ? I would get that or close to it on my 1982 Yamaha ma in 750 , downhill with the wind at my back but still …seems like a race inspired 1100 cc bike should be cruising at around 130 not near topping out …and yes I no little to nothing about bike mechanicals lol but I am very curious as this bike was the daddy to the ninja which came out right around when I first started riding …so am feeling quite nostalgic seeing this on eBay

[@bonniecavalcante9149]

Is there you haven't mounted yet you got it covered for sure

[@angrytater2456]

That deep grumble is intimidating. We need more inline fours! Is it a cost issue with companies? Can't hit the price point?

[@principe_fernandezrd8371]

❤

[@joskopopovic2598]

Great Bike !,.. 51369 miles or kilometers on odometer?

[@PenikeseKidd]

👍

[@kennardjohnson7875]

If you run across a 82 gpz1100 I would be very interested!

[@shawnwuan]

Is it still available?!!

[@user-hk3gr9qb2m]

Класс

[@Veer1337]

I wanna see the Suzuki 650

[@hypervigilance1465]

I raced a guy on my nighthawk s he was on an 83 gpz 1100 I beat him in the quarter mile he did weigh about 400 pounds though and he was gaining on me at the very end.

[@natedog01able]

Why can't they build 40 years later cars that can get 40mpg and 10 seconds in a 1/4 mile

[@natedog01able]

I do love your channel would love to 1 day see the museum of wind therapy 😀

[@125southernnh2]

It's brakes are too old they say. The tires are too skinny they say. It still goes like stink and that's what I say.

[@rover100bunson]

Glad that stupid anti dive system has gone

[@glenzettahall8052]
