I didn't get mine until 1999. Fairing was pretty busted up but the rest of the bike ran great, I was fixing it up and riding it for about four or five months, one day a co-worker said there was a really nice used Honda at the Kawasaki dealership for sale. I rode over to take a look and it was a 1997 Honda Blackbird in that deep ruby red color. Dealer looked at my old GPz and said "I know someone looking for one of those as a project" and offered me three times what I had paid for it as a trade and a pretty decent price on the Honda. I rode home on the Blackbird.
On lists of bikes I want (again) I'd put both the GPz900 and the Honda CBR1100XX Blackbird.
