I was disappointed it wasn't a Z1 or KZ. Didn't see Mad Max until 5 years ago. Didn't miss much. :dry:

I saw that movie opening night at one of the local 70 mm screens. There was a Ninja in the lobby along with USN recruiters and the accompanying paraphernalia.

I was 14 and an airplane nut, not a bike nut yet. so I don't remember if the bike was debadged or not and who was promoting it. It was most likely a local dealer so I imagine it wasn't debadged.

I would agree with you... but what ever you think og the movie or Tom Cruise, the GPz900r became immortalized by that film.

It didn't need it though, it would have stood the test of time on its own if you ask me...
