The Z750 gets an Akrapovic silencer, colour matched belly pan, wheel rim stripes and a genuine accessory seat cowl

Review

The new Kawasaki Z750  combines serious street riding with new aggressive styling. Specially designed for high-performance road riding, as a new-age street-fighter the Kawasaki Z750 offers the perfect marriage of engine and chassis performance.

Perfectly balanced
The development aim for the New “Z” Series was “True Street Performance.” And while both the new Kawasaki Z750 and new Z1000 share this quality, their approaches are radically different. “Perfect balance” is the term which best describes the new Kawasaki Z750, delivering crisp, quick-revving power and sharp handling with superb rider feedback. Its avant-garde styling perfectly expresses the performance of this sharp-edged street tool, the only 750cc super naked in its class.

Razor sharp handling
A slim and compact chassis gives the Kawasaki Z750 superb manoeuvrability and precise handling in a wide range of riding situations. Chassis highlights include a new 41 mm upside down fork, tuned to cope with demanding sports riding whilst improving ride quality and feel.

Superb feedback
The stiffness of the Kawasaki Z750 Chassis has been optimised to give positive feedback across the entire speed range. In addition, an improved relationship between the seat, handlebars and footpeg positions further enhances feedback between rider and machine.

Sensual Power
Complementing the Kawasaki Z750 ’s new chassis is a re-tuned power unit. The liquid-cooled, 748cc, 16-valve, In-line Four has more instant urge and overtaking power — just what’s needed to excel in today’s urban riding environment. Changes result in a wider mid-range torque curve whilst retaining the high-rpm exhilaration of the previous model. The up rated power characteristics of the Kawasaki Z750 are accentuated by a unique new silencer and twin-outlet end-cap emitting a sensual 4-cylinder exhaust note that is pure Kawasaki, while relocated engine mounts behind the cylinder greatly reduce engine vibration transmitted to the rider that may have been experienced in the previous model.
