How much was it? I had a gs1100es 83 new back then, sometimes i think to try find a bike of around those years.

Wayne Rainey is a really cool dude!! Great footage of a legendary race, great bikes as well... thx for sharing!!

That's what I call me Kawasaki king of the good old days and we still rule to this day old and new Kawasakis..keep safe all riders of motocyles true him who give us life..Mr wayne Rainey you was my ideal when I was just in to bike then Mr vr46 king Rossi ..

Back when motorcycles had character and personality. Nowadays they all look the same.

Supermarket backing music is hilarious, great bit of film, this was my era.

The Kawi had the oldest engine; air cooled 2 valve inline 4 vs liquid cooled 4 valve V4, and Suzuki air cooled 4 valve inline 4. The last hurrah of the old KZ650 based motor.

The '83 GPz750 was a fun, fairly lightweight bike for its class. I had the '82 z750GP with basically the same KZ650 engine but in the standard Z twin shock frame. Still a fun bike.

Go Team Green 😎

0:15 best part of the video 🙂

カワサキならエディーローソンのファンです!

Superb!

GPｚ750です。 先人にローソンがいて、レイニー、クーリーと黄金時代だった時ですね。 スペンサーにはかなり苦戦してますが＾＾；

good watch!

I was there that weekend - not a good day for American Honda-

Just look at the full factory support back then, and then look at the pathetic state of affairs nowadays in American roadracing.

I HAVE A 82' KAWASAKI GPX 400 (looks like a naked NINJA 600RR. Thats been bored and stroked, ex AMA race bike like you see here! shes so fast i beat 1000cc bikes in Car lengths!..I still have it today. will be restoring it in my channel asap.

Rumor had it that Merkel's motor locked up going into turn 1 - of course no comment from the Honda boys

Those are both front tire crashes. When you go down that fast, you lots the front end.

16" wheels on the Honda. I seem to remember they raced on 18" or maybe the CB750 which had 18s raced on 16s. I'm getting old.

Willow Springs, known as "The Fastest Road In The West", presented a special challenge for tires. Its very high speeds and hot track surface meant harder tires with less grip were typically used for durability. Strong and gusty crosswinds were common, with the occasional airborne tumbleweeds. The circuit wasn't easy for visitors to learn, even top national caliber riders could struggle at Willow Springs. Interesting factoid: Mike Hailwood raced at WS in the early Sixties.

I have an 83 gpz1100 sitting in my garage right now great shape under 15,000 miles. I like to take it out and hear people comment on how they haven't seen one of those in so long. Mine's red with a silver and very dark blue stripe. May think of selling it but you just don't find them in good shape anymore...? Back in 83 I had a gpz750 that was lime green with a white and very dark blue stripe. I was told it was an Eddie Lawson replica? Does anybody know anything about those?

The Eddie Lawson replica was a KZ1000. You would know if it was an Eddie Lawson replica because it says so on the bike.

Love Kawasaki engines always their strong point even in their street bikes. Honda always good at racing, but their street bikes always a touch boring. Rainey was a great rider but was a pretty boring personality just did not have much Charisma.
