Anyone race a GPz750?

[ponieswhee]

So I've been looking at trackday/race prepped Ninja 250/500s and FZR400s and I realized I have a perfectly good GPz sitting in the garage ;D

Anyone ever race prep one of these beasts and have tips on where to drop weight, how to tune the suspension, etc? My plan would be to keep the motor mostly stock/restorable but drop some weight, maybe change the wheel setup and suspension and get her on the track.

here's a photo of the beast - for great justice

Good bikes, but the quickest way to tack prep that bike is to buy an FZR400. Lighter and handles well. Not too fast, but fast enough.

I would much rather have something lighter like a Ninja 500/FZR 400 but budget is limited so I figured I'd see if I could work with what I have. I love the GPz - it looks awesome and has that 80s muscle bike machismo - but I think I may end up selling it or doing a trade for an old Ninja 250/500 or something similar. It is a pretty heavy bike to be throwing around the corners. My Ninja 650 would be a great track bike but it's my daily commuter and I can't risk downing it. I do have a CB175 that is close to track prepped but I figure that would only do for vintage racing. I'd hate to have that little bike out with a pack of 600s on a trackday.

Soo... anyone have an old 80's-90's Ninja/Fazer they want to trade for a totally awesome Top Gun approved muscle bike? ;D
