The Kawasaki GPZ 1000RX (otherwise known as the GPZ 1000RX, model designation ZXT00A) is a motorcycle launched by Kawasaki in 1986. In the United States the bike was called the Ninja 1000R. The bike produced a claimed 125 bhp[citation needed] from the 997 cc four-cylinder, 16 valve, twin cam engine.
The GPZ 1000RX was to be the replacement for the original Ninja, the GPZ900R, but as it turned out the GPZ900R lived on alongside the GPZ 1000RX. In 1998 the GPZ 10000RX was superseded by the ZX-10R, yet still the GPZ900R remained, beyond the 1990 release of Kawasaki's new flagship, the ZZ-R1100,[1][2] until 1996.[3]
