Kawasaki Z750R Features and Benefits
Sculpted aluminium swinging arm - Pressed aluminium swingarm replaces the
steel square-section item of the Z750. The swingarm is lighter and
contributes to the Z750R’s higher-grade appearance. The sculpted design is
based on that of the 2009 Z1000, featuring the same left side, but a newly
designed right side to be able to better accommodate the 180 mm rear tyre
used by the Z750R.
Multi-piece front cowl - The front cowl is a multi-piece construction. The
sharp, aggressive multi-facet design reflects the R-model’s sporty nature.
Smoked windscreen-style instrument cover contributes to the sharper image
and further distinguishes the Z750R from the Z750.
Instrumentation - Supersports style instrumentation gives at-a-glance
information to the rider. Black-backed analogue-style tachometer sits
alongside an orange LCD display with digital speedometer, odometer, trip
meter, water temp, fuel gauge, clock, etc.
Hi-spec front forks - The 41 mm inverted front fork from the 2009 Z1000
delivers brilliant steering performance. Smooth action in the top half of
the stroke is complemented by firmer damping in the bottom half. This gives
the feeling of a long-stroke suspension initially, followed by a solid,
planted feel in corners. Both sides of the front fork now feature rebound
damping adjustability, enabling more precise settings. (Preload
adjustability for both tubes is also a feature.)
Engine - Responsive liquid-cooled engine with efficient 4-valve, DOHC
cylinder head displaces 748 cm3 from a bore and stroke of 68.4 x 50.9 mm.
Fuel injection system is managed by a high-precision ECU. Ultra-fine
injectors and 32 mm throttle bodies with oval sub-throttles offer
ultra-smooth response across the rev-range.
Piggy-back reservoir rear shock - At the rear, the Bottom-link Uni-Trak rear
suspension features a nitrogen gas-charged shock with piggyback reservoir.
The rear suspension settings complement those of the front fork: suspension
action is excellent, offering exceptional road holding. The increased
cooling performance from the addition of the piggyback reservoir suits the
sport riding potential of the new Z750R.
Two-tone fuel tank - Fuel tank’s luxurious two-tone paint is complemented by
gold pin-striping.
High grade braking - Radial-mount, opposed 4-piston front calipers gripping
thicker 300 mm petal discs deliver increased braking performance and
enhanced feel. Radial-pump front brake master cylinder also contributes to
the superb control and feel offered by the new calipers. Steel-braided lines
offering more direct feel complete the front brake package.
