Read the kawasaki Z750R review

"The Z750R features new forks (taken from the ’09 Z1000), rear shock, wheels, a lighter aluminium swingarm and radial Nissin four-piston front calipers. These new parts should offer a slight improvement in handling and braking over the standard Z750, but we...." Read More>

I do agree with the statement that erp30.

All my friends ride Triumphs, I ride a Ducati ST3S, Triumphs are quiet expensive to service and spare parts are more expensive then jap bikes. {They moan about Ducati's being expensive for parts and being unreilable.} and the build qualilty has gone down the pan. I did take a street triple for a test ride, bloody horrible. high rev's, got to really thrash it to get any speed out of it, and uncomfortable.

No thanks Triumph, will be keep my Ducati.

2007 Z750

Sorry guy's but does triumph own MCN? Honestly no bike out there compares to any triumph according to MCN. My point is i have a 2007 Z750 with 40thou Kilometers ridden so i know my bike very well. It would rip past a Er6n in any conditions(i read the Full review). Mine only puts out 96bhp but my god it will snap your neck off when you hammer it. I have achieved 254 km's on the clock in a safe place of course and i was wearing my rain gear, so with leather's i recon there is a bit more top end left. Im only 5'3 and 9 stone so maybe that helps the speed. It is a bit on the heavy side but weekend runs with friends on R1 R6 SP2 RC8 and they are all nuts on their bikes but yet there is no problem keeping up with them. Rust is a bit of a problem but other than that it is a fantastic machine. 220km to a tank no bother and you still have 3.5 liters left in reserve. Have been parked beside a street triple and i think they might be worse for rust. Anyway to end my pitch PLEASE PLEASE MCN stop saying Triumphs are better than all that exists in the biking world...
