It was the only bike I had that scared me .Engine was light years ahead of it's frame . I loved it and the 900r I got later on . Wish I still had them ...sigh
The bike handled excellent for the time, it was the GPz900R that took motorcycles to the next level! Bringing it out just after the turbo basically killed of the turbo sales. Making it the future classic it is today.
Bought one new in 1985 (£3200 on the road) regularly ran it with silencers removed. The bike would wheelie with ease, specially with my then girlfriend on pillion. No fear when your 19.....lol

Very special bike that mate, nice video.....
Brings back memories! Ditch the silencers; it'll run fine and sounds the nuts!
If they are OEM and in good shape, they could finance all manner of upgrades, or even start a new project!
