This video shows our representative participating in the KAZE Gymkhana competition held in Tokyo on June 9, 1991, riding a Kawasaki Z750GP. Please enjoy this video of a gymkhana competition from the early 1990s, filled with a friendly and harmonious atmosphere among the riders.
This video shows footage from an event held in December 1997 using the facilities of the Suzuka Circuit Traffic Education Center, with a unique curriculum aimed at improving driving skills. The course map and results are also included, so please take a look if you participated or are interested.
GRA launched the Gymkhana Grand Prix in 1995, a competition held across Japan where riders compete for points. Three years later, the final race, which determines the annual rankings, was a great success, with numerous riders from all over Japan participating.
The page also includes the participant list, course map, and results from the day, so please take a look. The measurement results for "maximum speed" and "intermediate time" can be viewed by clicking the [Event Materials] button.
This video shows my participation in the KAZE Gymkhana tournament held in Tokyo on April 14, 1991. Whether you were a participant at the time or simply want to see what gymkhana tournaments were like in the early 1990s, please take a look.
Gymkhana became popular nationwide from the 1970s onwards, coinciding with the development of motorization. In the 1980s, with the rapid increase in motorcycle sales, the number of riders participating in gymkhana also grew, with the Kanto region having the largest number of participants. However, due to the influence of Kawasaki, which expanded gymkhana events nationwide, Kawasaki motorcycles dominated the competition. Among them, the Z750FXⅡ (released in 1980) and the Z750FXⅢ (released in 1981) were popular and achieved excellent results as "classic" models. This trend continued into the 1990s, despite Kawasaki releasing many 750cc class motorcycles in the 1980s, such as the GPZ series.
Then, in 1990, Kawasaki released the Zephyr 750, their first non-faired 750cc motorcycle in a long time. As can be seen in this video, the "de-FX" trend finally began, and motorcycles from the late 1980s, incorporating numerous new technologies, started to attract attention. Incidentally, the Z750GP, which adopted the world's first electronically controlled fuel injection system, was released in 1982, so in 1991, it was by no means a vehicle of a new era.
GRA launched the Gymkhana Grand Prix in 1995, competing for points across Japan. This video shows the Hiroshima GP, held in 1997, three years after the event. We hope you enjoy the atmosphere of the Gymkhana Grand Prix from back then.
GRA promotes the motorcycle sport of gymkhana while working toward the goal of promoting a "long-lasting, fun, and safe motorcycle lifestyle." We believe the most difficult challenge to achieve is rider awareness. This video shows a "Game Time" event held with the goal of overcoming this challenge.
We live in a society where we share things with many people, but we have experienced how the behavior of riders who disregard the existence of these many strangers lowers the social status of motorcycles. That's why GRA's events often employ systems that allow participants who gather with the same goal to support each other and share event management. One such system is "Game Time," a casual, enjoyable activity for everyone. Please watch the video to see how it works.
This is a documentary video of a special motorcycle training event held by the NPO GRA at the Suzuka Circuit traffic education center, which boasts world-class facilities and spaciousness. At the training camp, which was conducted with GRA's own curriculum, in addition to slalom practice with on-road vehicles, off-road driving practice with off-road vehicles was added to improve driving skills comprehensively.
