It was inevitable that the GPz750R, introduced at the same
time as the mould-breaking GPz900R, would be condemned to live in the shadow
of its attention-grabbing bigger brother despite being, as Bike magazine put
it, 'a Ninja in very way'. According to Britain's best-selling motorcycling
journal, the GPz750R 'combines the 900's much acclaimed chassis with an
engine that is reduced in size from 908 to 748cc but which delivers its
power in an identical fashion – there's just less of it.' Less power there
might have been but the GPz750R was still good for a top speed knocking on
130mph. Introduced alongside the GPz900R for the 1984 season, the GPz750R
was produced for only three years before being replaced by the GPX750R in
1987.
