The red Kawasaki that the hero jumps over the base fence. It's a four, based upon the shot that showed the pipes off the front of the engine through the fairings. Anyone?

Wish I could help you. The IMCDb surprisingly doesn't have an entry for that movie. I'm fairly sure I saw it many moons ago.
Odd that the manufacturer wasn't thanked in the credits....

My first thought was Yamaha Seca Turbo.
No help from me...
But god are those movies and American classic.
For whatever reason, they show a closeup of him shifting it into first before he jumps the base fence, and you can clearly read Kawasaki on the clutch cover.
Ah, then I am mistaken,couldn't see that in the pic.
Looks like a GPZ 750 to me.
GPZ 900 or GPZ 750 from the early/mid 80's

Those were the E36 M3 back in the day.
It is defintely a GPZ. They had 550's, 750's, and 1100's. I don't remember a 900 but I could be wrong. They were all 4 bangers.

They still are, unless one is a squid, stupid, or too young to know any better.

There was also a GPz 305 (twin) and a 750 Turbo.
Thank you all so much. The bast that I found through Google was "a powerfully thrusting red motorcycle."
What's weird is after I read GonzoBMod's post after mine,I thought, "oh, I totally forgot about the GPZ900", so I started doing google image searches. After looking at tons of GPZ pictures, I didn't see any with the same side fairings as the one in that movie. I guess they could have done some custom work to the movie bike, but being as low budget as it was, it would seem an odd place to spend their limited budget.
ZX900A Kawasaki Ninja with Lockhart or Targa fairing mowers.
I was Service Manager at a Kawasaki shop when those bikes were new.
