I had a gpz1100 back in the day. The tank slappers the chassis could invoke were unsettling. But what stands out in my mind as how shockingly good the front brakes were. After riding many early 80s bikes, i was used to pulling the lever to the bar then waiting for bikes to slow. Often overshooting intended stopping distances. Even my interceptor 500 was underwhelming to me. (That was in the early 90s at the time).
But the GPZ never did that to me. The chassis was flexy but the binders rocked.
I agree Michael, I have the 900 with the same spindly looking brakes, but they actually worked in a two-up emergency on a freeway once, when someone dropped a load of lumber.
Sorry, just never a fan of the “Swoopy” styling of these years.
The 750 Turbo was the only turbo model of the era that was truly worthy of being turbo charged. It was fast!
