The now-venerable 900 Ninja was Kawasaki’s 1984 foray into the world of water-cooled four-valve performance. The works team went right out and won their class in the Isle of Man TT, and the bikes did well in the showroom. With low miles for its age, this GPZ900R has great survivor looks and some interesting updates.…

1990 Kawasaki ZX750F Ninja in red and black Back in 1990 the 750cc configuration was still king on both the track and the sales floor.

One such museum just east of Hartford, Conn. has an almost pre-historic Ninja up for sale, and while it’s not running, it looks substantially original and might be a good choice…
What might’ve happened if progressive licensing had been adopted world-wide ? Maybe herds of 4-cylinder DOHC 250’s would be roaming North America.
