[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

This evil fkr scared the holy crap out of me many a time, wheel of fortune power delivery you never know how hard the boost was going to come in and if it was damp you very near saw God.

Kawasaki  turbo GPZ750👍👍👍

I used to own one.

Mine was from 1984 and on a 'B' plate. For it's time it was properly quick and didn't 'wobble and tank slap' like many kwackers of that era.

They were all red and black but mine had been professionally repainted blue by the time I purchased it. It looked great and I wish I hadn't sold it.

Not for the first time I needed money to pay off a debt to people who I should have steered well clear of.

Good new though......I still have my kneecaps.

Even when they smiled there was always a sense of underlying menace. Something like sharing a joke with the Kray twins only  to realise they don't find it funny.

There are those that you just don't joke with... 

I have and think I got away with it... but you never know how long their memories are!

You would have to be young and in tune with your faculties to use one of those.

No use to 99% of the forum. 

That's me.

Good choice of mobility bike M'lud to use as your local shopping trolly to potter round the corner to your newsagents to buy your daily copy of the Morning Star.

On a modern big bike I'd probably kill myself before getting to the end of our street! Last "big" bike I had[back in the '70s]was a 1954 Ariel VB this was a single cylinder sidevalve 600 with a plunger frame and separate "tricorn"seats+ it had magneto ignition,bought and restored by me in our garden shed.That old girl was a devil to kick up if you didn't get the timing right for letting go of the valve lifter.

Kawasaki  turbo GPZ750👍👍👍

My 120bhp GPZ1100 A1 on its original Japanese tyres was interesting in the wet in 1st & 2nd as you knew you were going to spin up the rear wheel when using its full acceleration, just never sure quite when or at what speed. A pair of decent tyres made a massive difference and stopped it spinning up in the wet in normal conditions. I can image where the 750 turbo had the same acceleration as the 1100 but with unpredictable turbo lag that must of been a bit of a handful especially in the wet.

I had a GPz 750 (non turbo) 15 or so years ago. Not the quickest thing on the road by then, but I had fun with it for a while. Had to pick a line and stick to it as it was far too ponderous to flick around quickly. Sold it for £350 and was offered more than double that within  a half hour of the bloke collecting it. Story of my life.
