I couldnt read that through tears of laughter, only joking, personally i dont know as i've never seen the film all the way throught, but i can tell you that one of the older bikers will know it straight away.

Check the URL though.  |
I did. Check the posts in the link.
| Quote: | Sorry, but that is a 900 ninja, aka GPz900r, in Top Gun. People in Europe think it's a Gpz 750r, because that color scheme is what GPz750r's had in Europe, and GPz750r's in Europe were exactly the same as 900r's, except for having a de-bored engine. We in the USA did not get 750r's imported here (in this body style). The 85 model 900 Ninja's here were available in this color scheme. The rumor is that Tom Cruise wanted/needed a smaller bike, because of his small stature. That's how the 750 myth got started (along with the paint scheme mix up's). But the GPz750r and the Gpz900r are physically the SAME size. Why would the studio IMPORT a 750r for Cruise when 900's, which were the same size as 750's, were readily available? |
Shortly followed by...
| Quote: | 900R, did you not read what I wrote (and you quoted)? The site is gone now, but the folks of gpz900r.org (myself included) had a discussion on this since I've last posted here. Somehow, the guy WHO SOLD THE BIKES TO THE STUDIO AND HAD THEIR PAINT SCHEMES ALTERED chimed in, WITH A COPY OF THE RECEIPT AND PHOTOS OF THE BIKE BOTH ON AND OFF THE SET. Like I said, the site is dead now, but I can assure you that the two bikes used by Paramount studios for this movie were bought from a dealer in California, whereby their paint schemes were changed and the Kawasaki emblems removed (this done because Kawasaki would not provide the bikes free to the studio). Their wheels were also painted black at that time. |

Nice bike, this was mine :-
