The pegs will touch down quite easily but this is more due to the bike's ability than their low placement. The wide bars allow the rider to flick between corners with ease and the bike handles lumps and bumps in the road better than any sports bike. Handling wise the Z750 is much more than the sum of its parts. They lack feel with the standard brake lines but still give a surprising amount of power. The brakes are quite basic, two pot floating units. It delivers smooth and usable power from just over tick-over to the 11,500 rpm redline. One butterfly is controlled by the rider while the other is controlled by the EFI. The fuel injection is a sophisticated dual-butterfly system usually found on more expensive bikes. The power is delivered in a seamless stream with no large dips or troughs but it still manages to deliver a furious top end rush. 2004)Ī standard Z750 will make almost 100 hp at the rear wheels, and swapping the muffler for an easier-breathing item will yield slightly over that figure. Available colors Black, Silver, Orange (Black, Silver, Blue - y.Rear brakes Single 220 mm disc with Single-piston caliper.Front Brakes Dual semi-floating 300 mm discs with dual twin-piston caliper.Rear suspension Bottom-Link Uni-Trak (adjustable preload and rebound).Front suspension 41 mm telescopic fork (non-adjustable.Maximum power 106-110 PS (depending on market).Lubrication Forced lubrication, wet sump.Fuel system Fuel injection: Ø 34 mm x 4 (Keihin).Engine Type Liquid-cooled, 4-stroke In-Line Four.This version has one big seat instead of two part seat on Z750, bigger fairing for wind protection, doesn't have rear tire "hugger" like Z750 and uses analog speedometer and tachograph instead great looking digital instruments taken from ZX-R models on Z750 and Z1000 In 2005, Kawasaki presented Z750S version which is more tourer, and less streetfighter. This is only real con for Z750, but few extra kilos was easily "canceled" with more power and torque.īy many, this is cheating because for years this class was populated with 600-650ccm bikes, but consumers really don't care, they get faster and more exciting bike for same money.Īggresive "streetfighters" styling makes Z750 very attractive and eye catching, which is another category which makes naked bike great. Naked and half faired sport bikes are much more about commuting in city and cruising on short journeys than speeding and revving the engine "in red" so Kawasaki made a real good job with Z750's engine.īigger engine costs more so Kawasaki had to go with the steel frame, while all other manufacturers use aluminum which made Z750 heaviest in class. Thanks to 100-150 ccm of extra displacement Kawasaki was able to make Z750's engine much more torque and responsive in low and mid engine speeds compared to other budget middleweights, especially Yamaha's which are equally fast but demand much more revs. Z750 easily manages to defeat his competitors (Yamaha FZ6 and Fazer, Suzuki GSR600, Bandit 650, SV650(s), Honda CB600(France)) in most head-to-head comparisons thanks to great engine. Apperance was a bit less aggresive and "eye catching" the fun factor stayed equally high and the price was significatly lower. Kawasaki played simple, they used same engine block, cheaper front suspension and much simplier exhaust making a cut-down version of Z1000. Z750 was presented in 2004, after Z1000 great success in 2003. The wheelbase was 56.69 inches (1440 mm) long. The bike weighed just 498.24 pounds (226.0 Kg). The Z750 was fitted with a 4.89 Gallon (18.50 Liters) fuel tank. The front suspension was a 41 mm inverted fork with rebound damping while the rear was equipped with a bottom-link uni-trak with gas-charged shock stepless 7-way. It came with a 120/70-zr17 front tire and a 180/55-zr17 rear tire. Power was moderated via the wet multidisk, manual. Fuel was supplied via a double overhead cams/twin cam (dohc). A 68.4mm bore x 50.9mm stroke result in a displacement of just 748.0 cubic centimeters. The engine was a liquid cooled in-line four, four-stroke. It is a smaller version of the Kawasaki Z1000. It could reach a top speed of 143 mph (230 km/h).

The Kawasaki Z750 was a in-line four, four-stroke Naked motorcycle produced by Kawasaki between 19. Rear: bottom-link uni-trak with gas-charged shock stepless 7-wayįront: double disc. Front: 41 mm inverted fork with rebound damping
