The '' Kawasaki GPZ750 Turbo '' sport-touring motorcycle was first introduced as a concept at the 1981 Tokyo Motor Show. At that time it was a motorcycle with a 650 cc engine. At the end of 1983, the company introduced a production model based on the Kawasaki GPZ750, equipped with a turbocharger and called the Kawasaki GPZ750 Turbo. However, in the markets of different countries, the motorcycle could have other names - '' Kawasaki 750 Turbo '' (North America) and '' Kawasaki Z750 Turbo '' (West Germany). Also noteworthy is the fact that Kawasaki exported the model to the American market in the form of spare parts and already there assembled the motorcycle to a finished state. This measure was forced and pursued only one goal - to bypass the import tax levied in those years on all motorcycles imported into the United States with an engine capacity of more than 700 cm³.

Despite the fact that the Kawasaki GPZ750 Turbo model was built on the basis of the regular version of the GPZ750, it did not differ only in the presence of a turbine - many parts were created specifically for the GPZ750 Turbo: pistons with a reduced compression ratio, a fuel injection system (DFI - Digital Fuel Injection), reinforced gearbox parts, modified oil pan with additional oil pump, aluminum Uni-Trak swingarm, modified exhaust system.
