    1983年、エディーローソンがカワサキを去り、レイニー&クーリーで
    レギュレーションが変わったスーパーバイクレース。
    カワサキレーシングチームになんとか栄光を残した年になった。
    このgpz750での優勝は、後にgpz400のライムグリーンとして日本で発売された。
    この時代ホンダのVFRの快進撃で空冷エンジンの時代が終わりを告げることになる中
    最後の空冷四発エンジンはこの時代の象徴として、後世に語り継がれて欲しいものだ。

    The Kawi had the oldest engine; air cooled 2 valve inline 4 vs liquid cooled 4 valve V4, and Suzuki air cooled 4 valve inline 4. The last hurrah of the old KZ650 based motor.

      The '83 GPz750 was a fun, fairly lightweight bike for its class. I had the '82 z750GP with basically the same KZ650 engine but in the standard Z twin shock frame. Still a fun bike.

      @RickyJr46 4 роки тому +3

      Willow Springs, known as "The Fastest Road In The West", presented a special challenge for tires. Its very high speeds and hot track surface meant harder tires with less grip were typically used for durability. Strong and gusty crosswinds were common, with the occasional airborne tumbleweeds. The circuit wasn't easy for visitors to learn, even top national caliber riders could struggle at Willow Springs.
      Interesting factoid: Mike Hailwood raced at WS in the early Sixties.

    I have an 83 gpz1100 sitting in my garage right now great shape under 15,000 miles. I like to take it out and hear people comment on how they haven't seen one of those in so long. Mine's red with a silver and very dark blue stripe. May think of selling it but you just don't find them in good shape anymore...? Back in 83 I had a gpz750 that was lime green with a white and very dark blue stripe. I was told it was an Eddie Lawson replica? Does anybody know anything about those?

    • @thegrinch7989

      The Eddie Lawson replica was a KZ1000. You would know if it was an Eddie Lawson replica because it says so on the bike.

    Love Kawasaki engines always their strong point even in their street bikes. Honda always good at racing, but their street bikes always a touch boring. Rainey was a great rider but was a pretty boring personality just did not have much Charisma.
