The Ninja 600R was the name given to the Kawasaki ZX600 line of motorcycles sold in North America. In Europe it went by the GPZ600R (1985-90) and GPX600R (evolved model, 1988-97).

With minor variations over the years, in 1988 the GPX model is released with major changes, like a new double cradle frame, a different anti dive system (ESCS-Electronic Suspension Control System) improving the AVDS (Automatic Variable Damping System) from the GPZ. Also, the GPX brought more power (84 hp against 76 in the GPZ) and a higher top speed (140 mph against GPZ's 135 mph)
