Obviously not mine, but man if I were closer... it'd be in my garage.

I had an 86. Twas my first sportbike.
I think I have my old shop manual lying around.
That looks to be an amazing deal on a great bike.

Only 1,000 miles per year? Poor thing.

Yep.

I wonder if that means the throttle is on the left? :lol: (I vaguely remember hearing in one scene he used his left hand to either increase or maintain speed, but don't know if it's accurate or not)

Yup

The one I owned had the same color scheme as the GPz in the movie. The guy I sold it too was so exited because he had been looking for the "Top Gun" bike

All I remember is he blows thru the same 4-way stop that he criticizes the blonde for doing

Tom rode a trailer in most of the "motorcycle" scenes in Top Gun.
