I have wanted a gpz750 turbo since they came out, are they really any good or is it best left in the 80s?

Rode one when I worked for NCK in the 80's I nailed it in 2nd then the turbo kicked in and the maestro in front very nearly had a new rear seat passenger. Typical early 80's performance bike engine overwhelmed the brakes tyres and chassis. It was like my tuned LC 350 on steroids.

I found it to be like a big LC as the power came in hard like a two stroke power band. Will be interesting to ride the 810 when that is done. The original turbo had about 110bhp. The big turbo kit I have for it came off a bike with 279bhp....... I will be fitting uprated suspension, wheels and brakes....
