Anyone ever seen one of these street bikes? They have the exact same engin in it as the Banshee. There is one for sale around here with DG pipes on it. . . might have to check that out.

Not the same exact design. They have a powervalve and catalytic convertors. They're are a little heavy for their stock hp but they take to modding the same as a banshee. Dont get me wrong, they are fast. Just not compared to modern street bikes.

Here, have some fun reading. It will just make you want it more. Road Test

JakalWarrior is correct and for there time period in 1984 they were quick with a zero to sixty of 4.7 secs.

A few of my buds had them when I used to have my GPZ

they are light little wheelie bikes (awesome)

like a dirtbike slung for the street (couldnt touch the GPZ though)

They used to race those on a circle track back in the 70's. That would be an awesome site!

Build a monoblock cheeta RZ, thatl give the modern bikes a run for their money. Ive always wondered why they weigh 100lbs more than an RD though.

I remember my GPZ, nothing in my town couldnt touch it in the same class, even the RD350's were scarry to ride on the street!! I had one and about sh*t my pants when the powerband kicked off while leaving the drive way, almost went over backwards [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]
