If you like motorcycles, you like cinema and you like airplanes, surely you like the Kawasaki GPZ900R of Top Gun. Either for the first, for the second or for the third or for all at once, it is a mythical motorcycle in the three areas for the linking it with the original film.
The GPZ900R is already a historical motorcycle in the literal sense because it has more than 30 years behind it, but it is also historical for what it meant at the time being the fastest motorcycle in the time.
That is precisely why it ended up being Maverick’s motorcycle in Top Gun (the first, which in the second Tom climbed to an H2), and that is why the Kawasaki GPZ900R dressed as it appeared in the film became an icon that you can now take home. And there is a unit that will be auctioned on August 22.
The auction will take place in Siverstone and on the motorcycle it must be said that it was completely restored in 2022, with a repainting included and the incorporation of the adhesives that make it the replica motorcycle it is.
Although the GPZ900R is not the original, restoration work is faithful to the film
With the motorcycle, which is appraised and therefore it is expected to be sold between 5,000 and 7,000 pounds sterling (5,781-8,093 euros), the file will also be taken with the vehicle history, photos of the restoration process, maintenance invoices and ITV certificates although it is already exempt from passing them in the United Kingdom due to their age.
It is also informed through Ionic Auctioners that the motorcycle is in perfect condition and works normally, so taking into account the price they have on the market some GPZ900R, it is not far from it. A reasonable figure for a special replica and a motorcycle that was capable of offering 115 hp, a figure that is not negligible at that time.
