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.
