The GPX 750R of 1988 and 1989, Kawasaki's 742 cc sport-tourer with a steel double-cradle frame and 16-inch front wheel. Cycle World named it best 750cc streetbike for 1987 and 1988. Owners on the page describe it as comfortable on long rides and in town, and most recommend tyre and rear-damping upgrades because the stock suspension is soft.
