The '''Kawasaki GPZ900R''' was a revolutionary [[Kawasaki motorcycles|Kawasaki motorcycle]] design, in that its 908 cc liquid cooled 16 valve engine was a first for Kawasaki, and delivered 115 [[Horsepower|brake horsepower]] (86 kW) (depending on market). Although its steel frame, 16 inch front and 18 inch rear wheels, [[Motorcycle Suspension|air suspension]], and anti-dive forks were fairly standard at that time, it took Japanese [[Superbike racing|superbike]] performance to a new level. It had a top speed of about 155 mph (248 km/h) (holding the record for the fastest production bike at the time), and a standing quarter mile time of just 10.55s was recorded by a specialist rider. | The '''Kawasaki GPZ900R''' was a revolutionary [[Kawasaki motorcycles|Kawasaki motorcycle]] design, in that its 908 cc liquid cooled 16 valve engine was a first for Kawasaki, and delivered 115 [[Horsepower|brake horsepower]] (86 kW) (depending on market).
