Kawasaki Z750 (2007-current)

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.

great bike,hard seat,loads of laughs,looks fantastic....buy one1

I have had some very good motorcycles over the years but I really enjoy the experience on the Kawasaki Z750, the engine is smooth from idle with enough torque to ride anywhere in the rev range, the gearbox was a little clunky when I was running it in but everything changes when you push the bike harder. I have no problem with the Brakes which have a good feel and I see little point of the ABS option. The suspension which has been criticized in the press is fine at the speeds I ride. I wanted a green Z750 but am so glad I got a black one which looks much better in reality than the promotional material (Get a tank pad fitted when you order to ovoid unsightly tank scratches) the overall build quality is very good although the rear swing arm does look a little cheap compared with alloy items on similar bikes. Overall I am very pleased, Kawasaki have built a bike which has attitude when its stood still and it is far more fun to ride regardless of speed than many a “Super Bike”. You will not regret buying this bike and if you can get one on 0% finance it’s an absolute steal.

Had this fantastic bike for a few weeks now and I absolutely love it. I got the black one in the end which I personally think looks great - definitely the best looking bike for under £5K new. Easy to ride fast or slow and gets lots of admiring comments when parked up. Off to France on it soon and can't wait. Buy one - you won't regret it!

just finished running in . Very impressed . great motor , very comfortable great bike.Went from a triumph tiger to this bike , was a bit worried about comfort & handling but so far this is light years better than the triumph , spped , handling the lot !!!!

After looking at what else was on the market I decided on the Z750 in silver (which in the flesh looks better than in the brochure) had sports bikes before so wasnt sure if it was gonna be a love or hate relationship... love it! running in but its a hoot already, handles just great on the road and would only really find its limitations if you were on the track which lets face it most of us dont do on a regular basis. She looks fantastic, definitely the best looking in class, sounds great, given me more smiles in the 3 weeks I've had her than the 3yrs I had my gsxr750. Go test ride one, you'll be amazed!

absolutely love the bike, i have gone from sports bikes (zxr, r6, RSV millie) to this my 1st naked bike and not looked back since! just to reasure anybody having doubts after reading roadtests commenting about handling, take it from an owner they handle very nicely, although very firm they are flickable and very stable. The dunlop quallifiers that are on the bike have my 100% confidence and dispite having sports bikes in the past i have never had my knee down but within two weeks of owning the bike (and whilst still running in the engine) i had my knee down no problems so that speaks volumes to me. if anybody is thinking about one then my advise is to go and treat yourself, you won't be dissapointed

My last three bikes have been an R6(04), GSXR750 (04) and an R1 (O5)so you can see that i dont keep my bikes that long. It was last Nov/Dec i first saw the pictures of the 07 Z750 in green and i thought it looked a stunner. So in January with snow on the ground i had to order one, completely different to my previous bikes but had to see what it was like, i ordered a black one being a boring chap trying to play safe but in the end changed my order for the green one, im glad i did now as its cracking. Although i have only done 500 miles and they have been running in miles (ish)i have been impressed with the whole naked bike thing, the bike turns on a sixpence has loads of low down power and is a more pleasurable experience, long gone are those aching forearms and surching for a perfect bit of road, the Z makes every road a pleasure to ride and has renewed my interest in just cruising around (used to get bored on sportsbikes unless i was with a group or on a trackday). Thoroughly enjoy the zed and recommend to anyone who gets secondthoughts after reading numerous roadtests making comments about handling, brakes or whatever, for most of us all bikes a cracking and we never quite understand what the journalist mean. Going touring through france on 20th May so looking forward to comparing my previous trips.
