The Kawasaki GPz900R (ZX900A) was a sportbike manufactured from 1984 to 2003. The 1984 GPz900R (or zx900a-1) was a revolutionary design that became the immediate predecessor of the modern-day sportbike. Developed in secret over six years, it was the world's first 16-valve liquid-cooled four-cylinder motorcycle engine, years ahead of rival manufacturers' efforts. The 908 cc four delivered 115 bhp (86 kW), allowing the bike to reach speeds of 151 mph (243 km/h), making it the first stock road bike to exceed 150 mph (240 km/h). Prior to its design, Kawasaki envisioned producing a sub-liter engine that would dominate the liter bikes of the time, and be the successor to the legendary Z1.[2] Although its steel frame, 16 inch front and 18 inch rear wheels, air suspension, and anti-dive forks were fairly standard at that time, the narrow, compact engine was mounted lower in the frame, allowing it to take Japanese Superbike performance to a new level.
