I've always wanted one of these but only managed to get the 750 at the time!!
Anyone want to buy me an early xmas present!

think you're right bud - great bike tho... :thumbup:
think the 750 turbo put out 120hp which was a hell of a lot at the time... theres a few on youtube with increased boost - with crank mods you can get them to 200hp :twisted:

The 750 Turbo was based on the older GPz750, with its air-cooled 8-valve engine (which traced its lineage back to the KZ750 introduced in 1980). The 900 was powered by the a modern, liquid-cooled, 16-valve DOHC engine. If my memory serves me right, they were rated at 113 hp, an impressive number in its day.
