are you sure that was a gp500 because at tokyo motorshow (i was there today) they had a bike the exact same and it was a 78 tz750 "extensively" modified that was painted the same as KR it looked the exact same as that first pic acutally I look at the pic again and Im now almost 100% positive it was the same the seat padding is even the exact same
