Kawasaki GPZ900

 
£5,800
 
We're delighted to offer this iconic 1984 Kawasaki GPZ900R - presented here in unmarked (and very pleasing) red over graphite. An unrestored, low owner bike, it has covered an extremely modest 13,931 km (8,656 miles) in its 41 years - quite remarkable. Originally a South African bike, it arrived in the UK in 2019. The warm, dry climate has perfectly preserved this 80's legend, to the point where we can confidently say it's among the best examples we've ever seen. Recent mechanical work includes a full carb clean, ensuring the bike is running as sweetly as ever. 
 
Though perhaps best known for its 1986 Top Gun cameo, we shouldn't overlook the fact that the GPZ remains one of the most important bikes of the period. Genuine 150mph performance, that 16-valve engine... the earliest Ninja set the template for nearly everything that was to follow.

Cosmetic condition:
 
Exceptional, and wearing its 41 years impeccably. All of the paintwork is in beautiful condition, and maintains a deep gloss, with minimal marks to any of the surfaces. The tank, and rider contact areas are all pleasingly free from any imperfections, and the seat remains unblemished. The wheels are free from chips, and all buttons/controls are as original. 
 
Mechanical condition:
 
Mechanically, the bike is in excellent order, and rides without fault. The engine remains eager, with ample torque throughout the rev range. Brakes are of their time, but the bike still pulls up neatly. Throttle and clutch are precise, likewise the gearbox. All controls function correctly. 
 
What our friends at Bennetts said:
 
"The GPZ900R is a special motorcycle. So good it outlived two replacements and is still astonishingly competent – and quick, even 40 years on from conception. If you want a genuinely legendary ’80s sports bike that still delivers today, you won’t go far wrong with a neat and tidy 900R."
