Good Points: I own one and think it is the most exciting bike I've owned, I'll never sell it.
Bad Points: The bike has been crashed and is naked, it could look so much better and I intend to do a total restoration, when I can afford it.
General comments: I have owned one for nearly ten years and apart from the bodged apperance, it has been poorly made into a streetfighter, I think it is a fantastic machine, the power delivery is awsome, I still cant belive how fast it is. Not for the faint hearted.

The greatest vintage jap bike ever. Good handling for a 1984 bike, super power, and the engine handles 2 times the 100 Hp it came with. Great lines and a totally great bike all over.

I bought my '84 Turbo new from Hollywood Kawasaki back in the day. It was a choice between it and a Yamaha turbo (made the right choice!) The bike now has an 810 kit and I am getting it ready to put it back on the road after five years of sitting in my garage. This bike gave me my rep (Turbo Tony) and I still compare every bike that I've owned to it.

I bought my first turbo in '85 after much delliberation between it and a Gpz 900R. I made the right choice. What a great bike with two characters. Unfortunately I threw that bike down the road after 6 months but I went and bought another turbo the next week. A great bike, comfortable for touring with a decent saddle for two with great performance available. It will be forever a classic and of all the bikes i've had one that i'll always have fond memories of.

Loved the bike and regretted selling it from the moment I had cash in hand and watched it ride up the road. Years later I saw it and wished I could catch the rider to buy it back!

My Kawasaki GPz 750 (ZX750-E1) Turbo(2) is super looking still after 23 years of ownership. It handles well for its era and was at leading edge when new. I could spin wheel in 4th when well reved. Bought new in early 1985 in Ireland. ( only 4 sold here ) Have used over the years almost all dry run, even in wet west of country. Turbo seals went 2 years ago and I have had it rebuilt. Now fuel pump gone and am having trouble finding a replacement. I cannot wait to get it running again as it will be ...

Kawasaki's take on a turbo bike, the Kawasaki GPz 750 (ZX750-E1) Turbo, is remarkably able to hold its own as a quick straight line bike 25 years after it's launch. It will cruise at 100+ mph, and still holds the record from John o groats to lands end. Its economical, unbreakable (ish) and well built. Buy one of the few unmodified examples left, before they spiral out of a sensible price range.

In the mid eighties, everyone tried their hand at turbocharging, most with lacklustre results. Kawasaki were the last and best, examples around today can still out accelerate many in classes above it. Riding a Kawasaki ZX750 E Turbo (AKA GPz750 Turbo) is an experience that brings the adrenalin rushing. The sound of a turbo spooling up and then cry chaos, let loose the dogs of war. Distinctive styling and color scheme with the aluminium spoiler in front of the turbo makes this one very special an ...
