What Make Of Gran Turismo Bike?

It probably would have helped in the OP would have mentioned the brand of "85 Gran Turismo bike".... Just to put things into perspective for the rest of the members.

A lot of builders made models named Gran Turismo. For the sake of clarity, the OP's 85 Gran Turismo is a Univega brand bike.

My first thought was a French made Gitane "Gran Turismo" from the early 70's (spelled "Tourisme").



Medci made a Gran Turismo in 1985:

Wilier, Bottecchia and Ducati along with a lot of others over the years did too....

"Get Off My Lawn!"



OH! That's Gran Torino....
