Its aggressive design and advanced technologies made it an icon in the motorcycle world, gaining global fame through the movie “Top Gun,” in which Tom Cruise rode it.

History:
The motorcycle was purchased new by the owner in 1985! At Moto Mader AG in Oberentfelden. They were equipped with side cases and a reinforced front fork with a custom mudguard at the time of purchase. It has been lightly ridden but regularly maintained, with 25, 000 km on the odometer! Always parked indoors. The ignition switch was replaced due to a defect. Proper break-in and services have always been performed. The motorcycle has not been ridden for the past two years. The owner is selling the motorcycle because he underwent knee surgery and can no longer mount the bike.

Complete and original motorcycle except for the front mudguard. Very good overall condition with minimal corrosion. The engine runs smoothly without any suspicious noises.
