Specially designed for high-performance street riding, this new-age street-fighter offers the perfect balance of engine and chassis performance.

The spirit of Zed' shines through in the Z750, Kawasaki's DNA indelibly stamped on the hardcore Z750's breeding.

The development aim for the New “Z” Series was “True Street Performance.” And while both the new Z1000 and new Z750 share this quality, their approaches are radically different. “Perfect balance” is the term which best describes the new Kawasaki, 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 750 cc super naked in its class.

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

The chassis' stiffness balance 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 communication between rider and machine.

Complementing the Z750's new chassis is a re-tuned power unit. The liquid-cooled, 748 cm3, 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. These uprated power characteristics 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.

Offering just the right amount of power in a responsive and sharp-looking package, the new Z750 just may be one of the best balanced machine of the new model year.
