[CO0L90]

Beautiful bike

[belgradebobcat916]

love this bike. looks amasing

[ftlptba]

what u prefer HONDA CBR 1000 REPSOL or kawasaki z750???

[kalikaputra]

@ftlptba had a honda repsol,traded in for my z750,why? Why ride around to work like a racer,when you can sit in comfort on the z'ed?I realized,hey if you don't do track whats the use having an uncomfortable race replica on the street.

[njd2389]

@kalikaputra There's nothing fun about having a bike that you can't use anywhere close to it's limit. Being stuck in 3rd gear max on your commute is BORING.

[kalikaputra]

@njd2389 yeah thanks for telling me,but as you can see its the same point I was making

[korefighter]

@kalikaputra - very true... alot of people i know will have 2 bikes.. 1 streetfighter/naked for long/short casual trips and 1 racebike for track days.

[izyofalk]

who prefers to have one in place of a honda kawasaki is a madman himself, but this bike is worth buying, much better than the honda hornet indeed nothing compares technology kawasaki

[arkz12]

This guy's intonation is really weird and funny. Especially when he says "...more torque", it sounds like he stubbed his toe or something.

[bradbenjam]

just bought one of these and its a great bike ........

[paul21turbo]

i luv it, much more fun than it looks on here,

[dennisdeslager0]

is this one better for everyday use than a zx 12?

[Boostibanez]

got an 09 in green n black so far had a genuine kwak bellypan piramid hugger n fender extender beowulf rad guard powerbronze seat cowel with l.e.ds just waiting for a screen to turn up ... great bike to bling i love it

[MRkallek91]

looks so stupid.

older ones are the stuff.

[GenomeSoldier71]

This is a great review. Subbed.

[pmccann74]

I have a black 2008 z750.15 ,000 miles on her now. Akrapovic slip on makes a huge difference ,so much tighter,wicked bike. Was first bike and is easy to ride. No regrets. Good for longer trips and cuts through slow city traffic surprisingly well

[MissMan666]

What do you mean with the new Akrapovic is much tighter, i am considering buying one for my Z750. But a fact is that the bike will lose power with other can(akrapovic) over the orginal, so what do you mean "thighter" ?

[pmccann74]

When I say it's tighter I mean it is more throttle responsive with the Akrapovic. On my first ride with the Akrapovic fitted I noticed the difference immediately. The whole bike felt more soild and more powerful. I don't quite understand what you mean about a loss of power with the Akrapovic fitted.....it ADDS power, about 3 horses over the stock can. I fitted the open version not the homologated legal version

[MissMan666]

i have seen 2 dyno test of the Z750 with stock can and aftermarket can, Acrapovic carbon and mivv gp, the dyno test with acrapovic showed +1 hp over stock can, but id has less nM over the whole line and less hp under 9000 rpm, with the mivv gp it was almost the the same as akrapovic but with even less Nm over the whole rpm range. The mechanic said is was normal, and with the Z750 having and exup valvle it can only get worse with an aftermarket can, UNLESS you get a powercommander.

[metalghostrider]

@MissMan666 are you retarded??? are you even a motorcyclist? if you are you would neve said something like "bike will lose power with akrapovič fitted" lol.... check some tests with akrapovič... it's the best exhaust money can buy... increases power, it has better power-line (no losing power betweed acceleration), it's muuuuuch lighter (stock 51ibs akrapovič 16ibs) so don't say bullshit...

[kalikaputra]

@metalghostrider dude with out a power commander you can never get the full benefit of the slip on.

[korefighter]

@metalghostrider - I own a z750, the mechanic adviced me not to upgrade to an akrapovic UNLESS i was getting a power commander and a dyno-tune for both with and without the baffles. With this you can power in the low-mid-high rpm range.. More noticibly in the mid-high rpm.

[metalghostrider]

@korefighter yeah but that is because without that u wont get the whole potential out of exhaust... with that u must adjust bike computer with exhaust to really increase power, otherwise it's just alot better sound and a bit better acceleration but certainly not loosing power...

[ranirani1976]

guy tall 6'2'' fit for this bike?

[WeekendRambo]

I'm 6' 8" ... Fit perfect on bike, alas mirrors are useless!! And wind blast is felt even more, but if you can manage too hang on you'll be ok!!

Just mirrors where my down fall ... Maybe straight bars would make it easier!!

[lgarvey]

Mirrors are atrocious - but the stock er6f mirror extenders fit PERFECTLY! And are cheap. I was going to get new mirrors, but my local kwak dealer tried them and they are perfect. I can now see what's going on behind without having to shift my position. IMO mirror extenders are the single best upgrade for the bike as the standard set-up is pretty much unworkable.

[totyfotos]

What about 5´ 3´´??

[yalexfumi46]

my friend its a beginner and he just bought the 2009 kawa 106hp... until now hes very happy with it and says that its easy to ride and on the road doesn notice the weight(230kg)...i rode on the back seat and man this bike its a rocket ..it has huge torque that never seems to end while changing gears ... i almost shit my self when it hit 190 km/h in less than 10 sec in a wide curve ...

[MissMan666]

How was the comfort on the passenger seat ??

[Cropheus]

Guys do you think it would be good for beginner? this bike looks cool

[vdarek]

Not at all, 106 KM in this bike need experienced driver, think about er 5

[lgarvey]

Fine for a beginner - just take it easy.

I started with my zed and it has been fine.

It's a fairly low insurance group in the UK too. It's a far better beginner bike than a race replica like a zx6r, cbr600 rr etc.

Make sure you get a new style 07 onwards style bike.

[MikeW259]

Yup :)

Hangs with the 600 Supersports easily,Sits upright, And is in the Sport tourer category of insurance...Its a great all around bike!

And yes, Take it easy and anyone is fine with this bike lol

[pacopluma2]

es la bomba esa moto

[keeper1man]

this bike is good

[roadhoggvince]

just sold my 09 er6f and and getting a z750 on the 14th

[lgarvey]

Man, er6f is a sweet bike. So much fun, and so flickable. It just seems ot lack the feel of a true big bike, which you get with the zed. Be sure to get a Puig screen, and you can enjoy doing the same kinds of speeds without feeling you are holding on for your life.

[geonlansis]

your reviews are better...

[luddisback]

my little girl.... i love her

z750 RULEZ

[Plainmark]

I am buying this bike in a couple of months time. Anybody got any reasons i shouldnt? I just want to make sure im buying a good bike. Its my first.

If anyone can let me know if im making a good choice or not it would be greatly apreciated.

[dimkatsa2]

It's a great bike, ill have my new z750 09 tomorrow and i am really excited about this. The negative aspects of the bike is that it isn't comfortable enough when you carry a second person and that it doesn't have a fairing so it isn't for very long distance journeys. On the other hand its a sport bike with much much power, so if it is your first bike be very careful...

[redmusty]

I own a 2006 Z750S, the S indicates a fairing. It isn't a full fairing but it helps.

I have yet to see any vids of the exact model I have. Guess I'll have to make one.

Great bike. 280 K's top speed.

[lgarvey]

You have an older z750 this is the new z750 (which doesn't have an S model), which came out in 2007. I like the older version, but it looks fairly tame by comparison.

[lgarvey]

It's manageable power, and has a lot of torque. It really takes off at 5k revs, which is great.

Totally awesome bike. I have wracked up 4k miles on my z750, and can see myself keeping it easily for the next 3 years.

[lgarvey]

It's a great first bike. I can cruise at 90mph without fairing and it's not that uncomfortable.

It isn't that comfortable for long distance. I have to stop every 50 miles for a few mins to allow my dull ache to fade from my butt. But you'd get that with any of the sportier bikes anyway.

There's no grab handles for a pillion, which can be frustrating. But you could get a ventura luggage system with grab handle, which I got for my z750. Makes carrying a pillion a lot easier.

[MikeW259]

First bike? Might wanna get something with lower cc's and take the msf class...Id go for a suzuki gs500,a ninja 250, ninja 500, or a ninja 650...you can always upgrade to this bad ass bike. Gl with ya choice :) take care :)

[lgarvey]

I love this bike! Have a 08 version.

[12123554]

Just wondering if compare with new Honda cb600 Hornet, which one is more reliable? Anyone got ideas? I got bad experience when I own a 03' Kawa ZRX400 last year.

[makelikeatreeandie]

Anyone know or heard any gossip on when the 2009 and 2008 Z-750 will be release in the U.S. for sale? Im a two wheel lover myself and I've been waiting for this bike but it never got here in the U.S. Also check out the 2009 version. Man, it looks so good that it hurts just watching.

[adoniscomplex]

According to a guy who was selling his 2008 z1000 on ebay, they will stop selling these (z1000, z750) in the US. 2008 was the last year for them in the US.

[makelikeatreeandie]

I would have bought the 2008/2009 Z-750 if it was release in the U.S. It's the Z-1000. And I can tell you why it's not going well. The Z-1000 has too much power. Motorcyclist ethusiast want bikes that are in mid-range power. And let me correct you on one thing. The 2008/2009 Z-750 never came out for market in the U.S. and I just wanna know why?

[kalikaputra]

ITs all economics.The z750's are selling like hot cakes in Europe and the big market there is Italy.I was lucky that kawa gave Australia a try for 08/09.Because I wouldn't of bought a bike or settle for a street triple. Great bike. I have the 09 version.SAWEET.

[eifelturm1990]

its not the same bike...

this kawasaki is a naked-bike

and the gsxr is a race-bike...

[waldomycat]

I have the 2006 Z750 and love it! I live in the United States and unfortunately Kawasaki opted not to bring any model of the Z750 after the '06 to the USA.

[toruga]

just like the superbikes, the pipes should be either under the rear saddle or far in the buttom close to engine right after the exhaust manifold. the rear tire should be clearly seen naked.

[dimzy3000]

why aaaaalways z750 z750 z750?? The Z1000 is so much nicer, but still both greatest nakeds ever made :D Love em!
