KAWASAKI GPX 750R.
Its great to see the comments on this very underrated bike, bearing in mind it took its big brother's crown, the GPZ900R. OK, it wasn't as successful as the 9, but things were moving on fast.
The main problem is its length, hence the 16" front and 18" rear to make it turn quicker.
I have to laugh at the guy who had a kerker on his LOL. Trust me, he was understating the noise as I had one fitted, and it would make your ears bleed, I have never heard anything like it. So I may change the standard pipes and put it back on just for a youtube moment LOL.
OK, the rattling and noises, ALL KAWASAKIS ARE NOISY. And if they aren't then there is something wrong with them. I have had GPZs, GPXs, ZXs and they are all noisy, and when they go quiet, get them checked out quickly.
What can I say, well yeah it's fast for its age, and would surprise a lot of newer bikes. I would also say it does most things really well even now. If you're thinking of buying one, then buy a good one. As there aren't many of these bikes around, and they are fast becoming classics.
I have had mine since new & I still think it's an honest bike.
It's a 89 model, and it's got 65,000kms on the clock.
Handling is good, but weaves on high speed corners.
It does most things well. I do a bit of touring on my own or with the wife & it does this well. It's hard to find a bike these days that you can fit luggage racks & throw soft panniers on & it still handles very well.
For the price they're going for now, the GPX 750 is a great buy.
