      Had my GPZ1100 in Florida, definitely could use liquid cooling.

      You and Me both. I hope you and your family are well, brother. Don't know if you've seen Justin's Kawasaki GPZ 900 Ninja with a Turbo on it or not, but that is one sick and very gorgeous fast bike.

      @@sonnyseabury4051 Hey brother, I did see it, sick!
      My older brother had a GPZ 550 he bought new when they came out, it was a silver one. He used to give me rides on it when I was 10, always loved all the GPZ'S.

    It's commendable how you always have the most beautiful and mint condition bikes go through Kaplan Cycles. The museum takes BADASS to a whole new level, too!

    A friend of mine at 15 had the GPZ 305.
    He was a huge guy and rode that thing like crazy.
    Those bikes were fantastic.

    So Beautiful, great line of bikes.1981 to 1985 is my favorite era.
    GPz was the choice bike to have, Seca & GS were nearly as good, but not quite.
    Ninja 600, FZ600, GSXR were still in Santa's workshop.

      Have to agree on the cool 80's for desirable bikes. My 83 GS750E was a member in that class.

    From an era when Kawasaki sportbikes had voluptuous curves. Those GPz's absolutely rocked too. Now, if they could just make their retro Z900 look like this.....!

    I had the 1100 with the DFI system by today's standard it was a elephant extremely long and heavy but beautiful and graceful than came the gpz 900 and changed everything but I kept riding it did some mods to and it would hold itself. I still miss it.

    The GPZ's were the better looking Kawasaki of the era. The KZ's were styled more like a cruiser in the 80's. The GPZ family picked up the old classic look that the KZ deviated from and carried it onward
