"Kawasaki GPz900R" (1984)
The 1984 Kawasaki GPz900R, known as the
Ninja 900 in some markets, was a groundbreaking motorcycle that
redefined the sportsbike category and set new benchmarks for performance
and design. Powered by a 908cc liquid-cooled inline-four engine, the
GPz900R produced 115bhp making it the fastest production
motorcycle of its time with a top speed of around 150mph. The bike's
engine was compact and lightweight allowing Kawasaki to design a more
aerodynamic and agile chassis which contributed to its exceptional
handling. The GPz900R was also the first motorcycle to feature a
16-valve cylinder head which improved efficiency and power output. The
bike's design was sleek and aggressive with a full fairing that not only
enhanced its aerodynamic efficiency but also gave it a modern,
race-inspired look. The GPz900R was famously featured in the movie Top
Gun, further cementing its status as a cultural icon. The Kawasaki GPz900R
is one of the most important motorcycles in the history of
sportsbikes, recognised for its innovative design, high performance
capabilities, and its enduring legacy.
