I'm posting this for a friend...

Does anyone know what kind of bike Tom Cruise rode in Top Gun (1986)?

Thanks,

Jason-

 

If I'm not mistaken, it was a Kawasaki Ninja (600?).

On a different note, I think Mav should've kept Goose's tags...

 

hahaha, ya really

 

Ninja 900 R

 

i always wondered what it was...

 

Sometimes you just gotta let go man!

 

whoops...my bad all you kawasaki owners..it is a Kawi

.....A few years back, the box office smash Top Gun, starring Tom Cruise, featured a Kawasaki GPZ 900 Ninja motorcycle. Tom rode this bike through the San Diego streets at what seemed to be Mach one plus speeds. Most PR photos show him sitting on his bike with his girl in the ultimate in sexiness on two wheels .
The movie had a huge impact on Kawasaki's sales, and the GPZ 900 Ninja became their best seller for a long time afterwards........

No Honda (not that I care either way but that ain't an interceptor).

I am pretty sure it was a kawasaki zx-10 they only made them for a couple of years..

 

It was some kind of Ninja.

 

Not a Zx-10. It was a Ninja 900R.

 

It was a Kawasaki GPZ 900R B2 black/red with a small goofy prat riding.

 

Thanks guys. I'm sure the answer lies in this thread somewhere.
