Can this be brought back to its glory 85 GPZ 750 900

[Dakotakid]

I sold my 83 Gpz last fall exactly because it was NOT "flickable." And, it was a very nice bike. If you are thinking about using it in tight mountainous terrain.....think twice. In tight stuff, these bikes were really quite demanding and that is exactly what Cycle magazine said about them when they came out. My '82 750E is much easier to ride.... hands down. In tight stuff you HAVE to commit to a line and hold it with the Kawa. The Suzuki allows easy alterations at pretty much any time without much effort.

Additionally, the seating arrangement is not comfortable in anything over about 45 minutes.

I do miss the engine and the brakes and the swing arm though.

900 what based on what 750?

This is the story that I read: Kawasaki had a dual overhead cam 750 ready to launch, then Honda launched their now famous single overhead cam 750. Rather than being seen as a copy cat, Kawasaki kept the 750 in Japan only and started work on the 900, which was based on the 750. The rest is history.
