The GPz 750 Turbo was Kawasaki's turbocharged road bike, using a 738 cc air-cooled four with a turbo mounted in front of the cylinders and computer-controlled fuel injection. It was built to offer big-bike performance from a mid-size engine, and it had air-adjustable suspension and a steel cradle frame with an added aluminium cross-member. The sealed O-ring chain and the cradle frame were its main chassis features.
