Top Gun 2?......Yes!!!!

Not sure if it was 82 or 84 (?). Mine was apparently the last if the computer injected model. It had a ECU under the rear duck fin. Should have spent the cash and had a new one fitted, instead I had fuel guzzling powerless carbies put on it :mad:

I'd have another tomorrow if I could.
I'm not sure we had the 900's out here, only the 1100 and 750's (which were turbo :o )
The 900's we got were a tad later and called the Ninja's. I could be wrong.

But anyway, I'd just like to see what bike he's on :D

Yes it was a 900R ;). I had a 1985 750R which was identical to the 900R, great bike and i was able to keep up with a mates CBR Tigerblade riding the " chain of ponds " in Adelaide.

I always thought the 1100 came out a bit later because it had fuel injection. A mate had one in the early 90s and it was an impressive machine.

The efi model came out in 81 i believe , i remember a mate looking at one nearly 20 years ago and it had a hard life.
Everyone we spoke to said to steer clear as parts were non existent.

1985 was the last GPZ1100, the GPZ900R was released in 1984, it was quicker and more nimble, I had a GPZ900R, brilliant bike, great tourer and fast too, the 1100 was a better tourer though I thought, after me and mate swapped bikes on a trip to the Clubman rally in jingellic.

Do you think He'll be on a bike at all,....even "Tom Cruise" might be "past that" now??!!
Pickles.

I had a '85 750 with carbies,
bloody quick!

I had sheepskin seat cover on mine, a radio/tape deck strapped to the inside of the fairing with ear plugs.
A trip from Albury up to Nundle, and another up to a a bris, easy as pie. Comfy as a pig in poo :-) used to get off the bike and be ready to go again after a smoke, all the other guys were still rubbing their asses and trying to walk around and get some normality back I their legs :-)
The carbs on mine were its downfall. Nothing beat the injection. Cheap to run and loads of power. 240+ with injection, 210+ with carbs.

And I reckon Tom would be fine on the bike,,, I know I would :twisted:

And no mention of this woman.. Who's going to replace her?? She does not look like this now!

or this,,


Even the tragic early death of director Tony Scott can't slow down the progress of Top Gun 2 - a sequel to the massively successful 1980 drama - and today comes news that the movie is taking another big step towards actually getting into production.

Screenwriter Justin Marks, who has been most recently working at Disney on Jon Favreau's upcoming The Jungle Book, is now in deep negotiations with Paramount and Skydance, and should he sign a deal he will be the latest writer brought in on Top Gun 2. It was all the way back in February 2012 that The Town scribe Peter Craig was first hired to work on the feature, but that was a few months before Tony Scott took his own life.

While there aren't any small details available about the story or info regarding who from the larger Top Gun cast will be returning, what has been confirmed is that the plot will once again center on Tom Cruise's Maverick, and will have to do with the subject manned versus drone aircraft. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer, who helped make the original film, is one of the driving forces behind the project, having recently moved over to Paramount following the end of his contract with Disney.

Jon Favreau's The Jungle Book could prove to be a bit of a comeback for Justin Marks, and Top Gun 2 could be a stepping stone to some bigger things. His career hit some rocky waters in 2009 when he was the sole-credited writer on the critically-demolished Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun- Li, and he hasn't had a feature made since. The Hollywood Reporter, which first revealed the news about the development, notes that Marks and Bruckheimer actually have a previous relationship together. A few years ago the writer was apparently hired to pen a film titled War Dogs, "a project centered around military canines." Obviously that movie never got made, but now the scribe and the producer are getting back in business. The Jungle Book is in production now, and Favreau has brought together a stellar voice cast that includes Idris Elba, Bill Murray, Christopher Walken, Ben Kingsley, Lupita Nyong'o, and Giancarlo Esposito.

Paramount and Skydance getting serious about having a script written is certainly an important step for Top Gun 2, but the project's future is a bit unclear. The studios may now find themselves with a clear path towards production, but they could also wind up hating and dumping whatever Marks does, which would force them to start over. Or they could like Marks script and then force him to do 20 re-writes until it's exactly what they want. We'll be keeping track of the whole thing as it gets further into development, so stay tuned for more updates.
