I was after something to replace the ER5 with that had a fairing, and a bit happier to cruise on the motorway to work.

So, I bought this.

Now you need a pair of Jefferson Aviators (NOT 'Ray-Bans), a Leather bomber jacket, and Kelly McGuiness.

the bike that started it all for me, from the film that made me want to be a fighter pilot.

sadly, i own neither the bike, a pilots licence, or kelly mcguinness. i'm taller than Maverick, though. winning.

Nice that isn't a standard GPZ front though is it? Looks like an early ZZR6 front end.

It's a late 1994 GPz900R So it has the 17" front wheel, and no anti-dive forks.

Too much showing not enough telling! What is it like to ride? Does it handle OK? Does it have the Kawasaki roar? Do F14's take off next to you every time you ride it?

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

No it's the only picture I've got of my old bike, taken from 1 mile away on a Kodak Brownie, colourised and scanned with a potato in 1996.

Are you 100% sure it wasn't painted with said potato?
