Bulldogady's review of Kawasaki GPX 750 R

“Kawasaki GPX750R 1989”

★★★★☆

written by Bulldogady on 23/04/2013

Always wanted one back in the 80's and now have one. It is mainly blue and white with red pinstripes. Surprisingly nice condition. Ran like a bag of nails initially but have had new carb rubbers and a tune which has transferred the running. This is a crazy bike that loves to get over 6000 revs. She really takes off. It is also nice to ride steady when you can fight the temptation. Bought this with 21000 miles on the clock with plenty of MOT's to give confidence. A good service of fresh oil, oil filter and air filter have added to the easy running too. Feels very small initially but is surprisingly comfy. The fairing does a decent job and the seat is really nice. I would not hesitate to go on a long tour on her. There is still a very slight hesitation between 3500-5000 rpm but I wonder if it was always a characteristic of the model? Top gear is amazingly strong and flexible. Few bikes can do 30mph in top and still accelerate away when the speed restriction ends.
Overall I thoroughly recommend this bike. It is fun. It has a superb engine and you don't see many about these days. Like all old bikes, you really must give her some TLC. Find a good un' and look after it. Lovely!

I use to have a GPX750R red & White, it sure could over take fast (3rd gear 3 cars with a blip of the throttle), & sure can corner as I dropped my torso low over the tank then counter steered into the corners, but I should have put on race pipes & redone the air filter & fuel mix for more bottom bang as when taking of, I sure did many wheelies on her though.
