I own a 1983 gpz 750 also that I did a custom black on black paint scheme, and yes the bike in top gun is a ninja 900 with the black and red paint (85 model). I am an avid kawasaki buff and have owned 8 kawi's.
The Top Gun bike was actually two 1984 Ninja (GPz900R)'s that were painted the ebony/red of the 85's but were not correct in the paint cut lines to match the stock 85 ebony/red paint scheme. Google this up. Some guy recreated the movie bike and has pics from the studio and body shop involved with the movie. You can also see this clearly in the movie itself and in the movie extras. Nice to see any good condition GPz, not so nice when the owner doesn't know much about the bike......
first off the bike from top gun was an 85 gpz 900R not a 750 and note the huge DEE on your forehead, cause youre a moron.... plus if youre only runnin 13's in the quarter you oughtta try a bike that doesnt have pedals. AWESOME BIKE TO BIGDADDY
We all know fuck all apparently, the top gun bike was a GPZ750R! (note the big Z which means it was the watercooled one).
All I can say is a 4into1 of unknown calibre, foam airfilters?, and if its an 83 its an A1. My 1987 A3 currently runs 13s for the 1/4 mile, so I'll take you on. Especially with my 'new' bike which I built round a turbo chassis and has a tuned head.
Haul it over to the UK's Santa Pod and I'll burn your ass boy!
Agree with Docketfish - this bike's a ZX750A1 or GPz750A1. The ' Top Gun' bike was a ZX900A1 or GPZ900R. Common mistake.

Hey bro, I've got an '83 GPz as well & I'd take you with my '91 CBR 600f2 & smoke you. Just sayin. It's a sweet ride, but it ain't all that.

The rest of them are right. It was a 900 not a 750. It is a nice bike but get your facts straight.

Had one of these in the mid eighties. They still look cool after all these years. I remember the wheels were a bugger to keep clean though!
