The Kawasaki GPZ900R also led to a significant breakthrough for Japanese motorcycles in the Superbike class. Despite the standard technical features in those years - a steel frame, 16- and 18-inch wheels, air suspension, etc., the motorcycle had not only outstanding dynamic characteristics, but also excellent steering. The reason for this was the special arrangement of the engine, which "sat" in the frame a little lower, thereby lowering the center of gravity.
