Kawasaki GPX750R Reviews - Page 2 of 2

Nothing but exhaust rusting through, not bad for 20 years old, I am really impressed with this twenty year old bike.

Getting 45 MPG.

For a 750cc bike and twenty years old, very impressed. I have been riding bikes since I was 16 years old, am 56 now.

Handles great.

Brakes great.

Exhaust starting to blow, got to buy complete thing, no front pipes, so will get MOTAD replacement.

Over the last 15 years, have always had a Harley's and a rice burner, in the garage, as well as a BSA C15, these have to be kept on the road for future generations.

My water pipe burst on 22,000km. That's ALL TILL NOW.

This motorcycle can be recommended to any one that's serious about biking.

Comfort is one good aspect from this little runner.

VERY QUICK FROM TAKE OFF AND WENT UP TO 248KM/HR, for this old model, no one is going to beat that for its age.

Seat vinyl broken 3 places.

Broke 3 rocker arms / worn intake cam, replaced at 78k miles.

Broken alternator belt when purchased.

Various sliding oil seals replaced.

ECS damping unit doesn't work, can't adjust kick stand switch worn, removed.

Handle bars bent from falling over.

Lower cowling destroyed from falls.

Ignition cover wiped off.

Exhaust rusted through.

Starter motor died around 65kmi, possibly due to jump-starting with an undercharged car battery.

Fuel filter clogged often due to rusty tank.

Nice economy japanese power, but really try to get a fuel-injected bike. There really is no comparison to a newer engine. It is also very very heavy. But, that's not so bad as long as you're not up in the mountains and then it snows on you.

The engine finally tanked at around 80k miles, but was easily rebuild-able. No progressive damage from broken rocker arms.

Great for touring, I've taken a few long trips. You can just strap your backpack right on to the 4 hooks at the back.

Furious acceleration above 8k rpm. Really stirring.

2-up riding kinda sucks, unless you're really fat maybe. The seat is designed so that she's sitting on a ridge pushing you forward.

Same as UK GPX750R.

The anti dive unit on the forks kept leaking out of the adjuster valve.

The rear caliper need regular checks carried out on it because of the seals leaking.

The seat are bad quality.

The expansion bottle splits very easily and are very hard to get, as Kawasaki don't make them anymore.

Very average handling.

Great acceration for a bike of this age - keeps up with many new bikes.

Good top end speed ie: 164mph on a speed gun, done on the track.

Would recommend to anyone.
