1982 GPz750 on Bring a Trailer

1982 GPz750 on BaT
Not mine. 

I always preferred the twin shocker GPZ750 - I could never find one still I started building my own in a modified 650 frame. Then of course I was basically given one which I passed on to my neighbor for a good project...
You know what they say...1st ones free. Now he is Hooked on that GPZ 

20 hrs left and $850 for the top bid.. This will be interesting!

Back in 82 sport bikes resembled traditional motorcycles.

Yeah, I picked up mine, running, for $600.00. Of course, by the time I finish resurrecting it, I'll have much more in it and certainly more than it is worth.

That is the way it goes, if I factored $60ph into my build a Sanctuary bike would probably have been cheaper

Ive got three in my bike shed. Hopefully ill get one running someday.     

Looks like it didnt make reserve. Bid was at $3250.00 

Sold for $3250.  Edit: didn't meet reserve.

That price seems about right to me.  The bike was decent, but far from pristine.  

I want one. The ‘82 GPZ750 is one of the best-looking bikes of all time imo.

They are great to ride too!

The '82 GPz750 is very similar to the L series 750's.  Nice improvements over the earlier bikes, like mine, include a rubber mounted engine, bigger gas tank, rearset pegs, an oil cooler, and more power.  I retrofit the pegs, shifter, and oil cooler onto my earlier bike, and everything fit.

That's what I thought   However, the R1 case crash guards do not fit on the L series. 

I've always like the GPzs.
The '82 GPz750 being one of my favourites.
A friend owns one, and I had been bugging him for years to buy it.
Then I bought the '83 1000R.
May still have room for the 750 though.

One I saw a few years ago.
