I have it 1 year and what can I say??? the bike rocks ;-)

Having owned this bike for just over a month from new, i dont feel totally qualified to offer a truly valid opinion BUT! having done a few hundred miles on it i think i've got a rough measure of the bike. Before i opted for the zed i weighed up what i wanted, of which 4 bikes stood out, each had their plus points but only the zed offered all the things i was looking for. Major plus points were the styling, a good torquey engine, forgiving in nature but that raw type atitude you would expect from a naked sports bike. If i had to pick minus points they would have to be the rear swing arm that looks budgety and i dont know if that has to do with the rear feeling when cornering or that maybe i just need to re-adjust the rear shock to suit me. The bike does need a rear hugger and tail tidy neither of which i have yet. I did get the rear seat cover, belly pan and windscreen all of which are great additions. I picked the bike up £700.00 less than list with 0% finance so i added those items in the deal so all in all a great bargain, just cant wait to hit that 6,000 rev mark and get a real feel for what the bike rides like. I'm more than impressed with the none ABS brakes, ride position (although the seat is still a little hard) and responsiveness from the engine, a great bonus having the 750 when comparing with others in its class which are 600 units. One thing that sticks in my mind which has stuck with me from when i first saw the bike to now owning one..... the word Streetfighter !!! I think people got the name of the Z750 exactly right by saying that about this bike. Its cool, quick, forgiving and fun. Try one, you'll then buy one !!!!!

After much deliberation I took the plunge and took delivery of a spanking new Zed 09 model. The decision was over a street triple and Gsr600. Fitted with kwak screen, belly pan also tail tidy and hugger. Feels well planted even on new tyres. Does what i want when i want. Obviously not much wind deflection at speed but I could have gone for a super sport if that is what I wanted. All seems to be bedding in well and can't wait till the running in period is over for a taste of what it has in the pot. Was lent a ER-6n 09 model when tail tidy and hugger was being fitted, can't believe there is so much of a difference. Hence just rode the Er-6 home and carried on fitting the kitchen, did not fancy cruising around ( I am spoilt by the Zed )If your looking for a New ride, change or something different don't look any further than this bike.......

What a gem of an engine. I love listening to the whirr. Great gearbox. Butch styling, seen boy racers giving sneaky side glances. ABS version. Comfy riding position. Got a Kwak flyscreen and bellypan. Puig mushrooms. Took the plunge in buying (new) as had read bad things about the suspension. Take no notice it is utterly fine! Better than the harsh ER6f suspension. A good step up too in that it is taller (I'm 5'7"), heavier and of bigger proportions to the ER6. No storage and my pillion can't get on! Sidestand can be tricky with rear pegs in the way. Overall, go with your heart not your head!

Had this bike for about a year and love it... I ride in all weathers and its never let me down, even suprised at how decent it looks even after 8k of miles... Engine really is a peach and I find I never need to change down, just open the throttle and away she goes....Buy one...

Great bike, made the changeover from a Zx6rJ1 after 5 years and was a little worried about going to the Zed. But its a great bike, good looking, plenty powerful enough for day to day road riding. The only thing lacking is some storage for a lock, puncture repair kit etc. Altogether it feels a better built bike than the earlier kwaks and although it will suffer the usual kwak depreciation its a bike I think I will want to hold onto for a good few years. A good all round bike at a budget price. Buy one, I doubt you will be disappointed.

I spent many troubled nights trying to decide on a bike in this class, I test rode many a few times over. In the end I plumped for the Z750. Now, I should explain that my previous bike history is only a Bandit 1200 and 600, (both from new). The Z750 is an amazing bike to look at, nothing touches it in this class, with it's striking lines and simple colour scheme. Even the exhaust has been designed to compliment the look. I've so far only comlpeted 500 miles of run-in times, but already can feel the potential of the bike waiting to be released. Even running in, the low end torque was impressive. I don't push the bike to it's limts as the test riders do, so don't see the potential downsides to the buget suspension and brakes. The seat however, is uncomfortable, and will take some time to bed in. The tacho/speed display is by far the best in class, simple and functional. I've only made one modification, and that's a tail tidy, which wholly complients the style. I managed to get my black Z750 on 0%finance with nearly £700 off the list price - a bargin compaired to it's rivals. I attended the NEC bike show, and once again sat on all the bikes in this class, I'm more than happy I've made the right decision.

Took delivery of my Zed on 2nd August and right up to the point of being handed the keys, I wondered if I was doing the right thing. Reason being that I was to p/ex my brilliant 600 Hornet which was quick and chuckable and a pure joy to thrash - oh,and I've always had Hondas. However, within ten minutes my Hornet was forgotten. The Kawasaki is fantastic, steadily running in but I know it's an absolute gem. Mine's black (green not available, and I'm glad now I didn't have the option) and all you need do is get a tail tidy and a small number plate - it's a real head turner..! Only downside is the extra 25 ish kilos over the Hornet which I find very evident. Hornet definately more nimble - or maybe I haven't mastered it yet! Thoroughly Recommended..!

A greta bike. Easy to ride with plenty of power. Get one you wont regret it.
