Turbo Ninja!

Neema12 · July 18th, 2009, 12:11 PM

I found this at another forum I visit frequently. Some guy posted about his buddies ninja...

my co-workers bike, 1984 ninja with a mr. turbo kit, installed circa 1989. He recently upgraded the turbo and runs at 18 psi, and the bike makes approx 250 whp.

I would love to see some dyno figures, would definitely make a great sleeper drag bike

M-Oorb · July 18th, 2009, 01:33 PM

That's just silly. I'd rock it

Wow 250 HP now that is more than some cars have. Just think of the power to weight ratio.

1 hp per cc? better get out my hip waders its gettin deep in here.

ztrack157 · July 18th, 2009, 04:46 PM

I call bull until I see a dyno sheet. 100hp maybe (60's at 8 psi has been done for sure) totally built 150-200 maybe at 18 PSI. I need to see a list of thing done not just see a picture and a hear say qoute to believe 250whp is being cranked out of a 250 or whatever it is.

kkim · July 18th, 2009, 05:01 PM

hmmm... is that bike a 250?

ztrack157 · July 18th, 2009, 05:05 PM

That was another issue I had KKIM. It's doesn't appear to be a 250. Other then Ninja thats all the info we got this being a 250 thats what I figured it would be.Any old timer know what bike it is.

rockNroll · July 18th, 2009, 05:50 PM

Looks like a gpz 900, around 1990-ish

Nickds7 · July 18th, 2009, 06:12 PM

Interesting. Would love to see that dyno sheet. I know it must be around unless it is bs. You don't spend that much on a bike and don't dyno it.

Strider · July 18th, 2009, 07:43 PM

Neema12 never claimed it was a 250. But it does look like a 90-ish GPZ to me too
mean lookin' though ain't it?

I could very well be wrong, but I thought 87 was the first year, changed the body style in 89, and then again for 08

OK, now I have to do research

noche_caliente · July 18th, 2009, 08:48 PM

looked on wikipedia and found this from '83- but they say it was a 250 in name only - it was belt driven

miks · July 18th, 2009, 08:56 PM

mmm, yummy!

komohana · July 18th, 2009, 10:59 PM

wow...

i remember when turbo cycles were making their mark in the 80s.
i know kawasaki had one...and yamaha had the seca turbo...can't remember

if i recall correctly these bikes had issues pertaining to when the turbo's actually kicked in...heck, brain cells are gone...cant remember.

Here's an ad for a Kawi Turbo 750 (which looks a lot like the 900 I posted above):

EDIT: Looking again at the picture above, I think it is a Turbo 750.

sombo · July 20th, 2009, 12:39 AM

Ummm, Scott, you posted the turbo 750 in both posts just so you know. You can clearly see the "750turbo" on the side of the bike in the first post.

It is in fact a GPZ-900 with modified fairings, exhaust and of course the turbo. Here's a pic of the GPZ-900 stock:

And here's a link to the data sheet for the stock GPZ-900.

Yeah, I caught that after I posted the second picture (note the "EDIT"

). Thanks for the pic of the GPZ-900. Nice looking bike!
