    LOL!! dude it was a joke.

    Believe it or not, those GPz's weren't exactly slow. Could they handle well? Eh for what they were they did. Obviously not in the same vein as a modern sportbike with good suspension and fat sticky tires. For me though, the GPz will always hold a place in my heart. When I saw Top Gun, thought they were the baddest bike around(yeah I was only 6) but my first bike was a 1984 GPz1100, and it was a tank. Plenty of straight line pep, but not the greatest in the turns. Very heavy bike.

    From what I could gather, the 1985 GSX-R750 was the one that pioneered the consumer sport bike look as we know it today, not the Honda. I will admit that I'm relying on the internet for my info, so I could be wrong.



    However, the Honda might have been the first one you ever saw. The first one I saw was ridden by my sister's boyfriend. He was on a brand new Honda Hurricane doing wheelies down my street. It was awesome to behold!
