2005 KAWASAKI Z750

Following the stunning success of Kawasaki 's brilliant Z1000 super-Naked, Kawasaki proudly presents the new Z750, a middleweight Naked sports bike aimed at a broad range of riders and riding applications. Although the Z750 retains much of the Z1000's aggressive attitude and in-your-face styling, this sporty machine has a new look and personality all its own. Offering an unbeatable combination of responsive power, lightweight handling and dynamic styling, this new machine gives customers a new kind of “Z” performance.

Class-leading engine performance comes from a 748 cm 3 liquid-cooled In-Line Four equipped with electronic fuel injection, a first for its class. Based on the high-performance Z1000 engine, this power plant delivers high power over a broad powerband. Other noteworthy technology includes an all-stainless exhaust system with stylish oval muffler, LED instrumentation, and lightweight new wheels that share their design with the Ninja ZX-10R. Riders will love the Z750's responsive handling. In town, on the highway or in the twisties, the Z750's light-handling “stiffness-balanced” chassis and brilliant throttle response makes this lightweight sports bike a joy to ride.

The Z750's key sales features can be summarised as follows :

•  Exciting Engine Performance – Based on the awesome Z1000 engine, the liquid-cooled 748cm 3 In-line Four pumps out a broad spread of smooth, linear power across the rev range, a characteristic which riders of all skill levels will appreciate. The Z750 is also the first machine in its class to offer fuel injection. The high-tech automotive system features dual throttle valves and fine atomising injectors to deliver smooth throttle response, excellent fuel economy and low exhaust emissions.

•  Rider-Responsive Handling Characteristics – Developed around a modified Z1000 frame, the Z750's stiffness-balanced chassis allows riders of all skill levels to enjoy the bike's responsive handling characteristics. Sturdy front suspension and linkage-equipped rear suspension deliver a smooth ride and excellent road holding qualities, while triple disc brakes deliver impressive stopping power. Ridden hard or easy, this machine never loses its composure.

•  Relaxed Riding Position – The combination of an ergonomically crafted seat and tank and an ideal relationship between seat, pegs and handlebars makes the Z750 one of the most comfortable middleweight sports bikes on the market today, making the Z750 a great bike for a wide range of riders.

•  Sporty New “Z” Look – Although the Z750 retains many of the attractive styling cues of the Z1000, since the bike is aimed at younger, middleweight sports customers, including intermediate riders and ladies, its visual appeal is lighter and fresher than that of the Z1000.
