    IMO No...It's not a real advance on the model with carbs so not a landmark model.
    Simply a development of what was the landmark - the first Z1.

    If it had been more reliable in the EFI so as to go down as the bike which made EFI "necessary"...then maybe.
    Sadly that description probably belongs to a Honda.

    I remember people stripping the injection off them and retrofitting carbs....

    Almost in the same category as the Bimota Vdue - as a failure - but the Vdue being a 2 stroke is a real landmark.

    Oh, they're a pretty thing. A guy I know has one - I've refused to work on it.....

    They're an epic failure though.

    Isn't there someone in internet-land that got one running with the GDI setup? I am sure I read that.

    It might have only run for a nanosecond though.

    I'd love one. Get fitted with my RZ/banshee monster pretty quickly though. And those silly muffler to cat bends gone.
    (Clearly still talking about the Overdue).
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.
