Crikey!
You're making me want one of these now! You never see any for sale on trademe though.. I don't particularly like the shape of the front fairing but there's this blue z750 around town that has what looks like the z1000 front and tail on it and it's very nias. Maybe it's just a year older though.
\<\------look a bike
When I bought the z750s I thought I was making a compromise with enjoyment being proportional to the cost. I was wrong. Nice write up Jim, ditto to everything - except to say you don't need to mod this bike (apart from the springs), but it is fun!
There's two bikes in the range - Z750 and Z750S. The Z750 is the naked bike, and the Z750S is the half faired one. The running gear is the same.Originally Posted by MrMelon

They don't sell this model over here - although the ones I saw in Mt Eden cycles - the fairing didn't do much for me, styling wise. The basic Z750 package though is still highly under rated and good value for money - I really enjoyed the one I rode.

Would you like some CANDY!?!?!
Funny, I thought your bike took dives like a boxer in the employ of Don King.
But yeah, despite it only being a few Ks of riding, I still rate Jim's Z750 over a Honda Hornet, which I guess is one of the Z750's logical competitors. The engine goes 'whizzz' with more enthusiasm.
Suspension that moves = good
Suspension that doesn't = bad
Old suspension didn't move = bad
New suspension moves = good.
When is the myth that only super stiff suspension is any good FINALLY going to go away? The whole point is to keep your tyres on the road, not bounce you from ridge, to pothole, to tiny piece of gravel and back again.

Oh yes totally agree; just remember what I had stepped off.
When I got the GSXR, I thought the suspension was too hard. I now think it on the soft side of perfect. Dulls the handling a little but, as your say, keeps both sets of tyres in contact with the ground. Your Z750 is a fine machine, I think there might be one similar in my future.
If I could just forget how much I enjoyed an fj1200.....
Torque Surfing is fun. Try an FJR1300. That will make you forget your FJ1200.

So ya reckon even a VFR rider would like them? The Kawasaki that is.

The middleweight Zed is a great bike and punches well above its weightclass. I've spent a bit of time on my brothers bike (06 Z750) and they look and ride great. He's getting a belly pan and radiator side covers imported. Should look the bizzo when it finished.
Not a fan of the S looks either but personal preference regarding style is in the eye of the beholder.
The 07 Zed looks sharp and has a racy straight lines kinda look. Getting rid of the undertail plastics will give its booty the real baby got back look!
Probably not I suspect - finish won;t be what you're used to. Might be fun to swap and see some time though

Didn't buy it for looks, I bought it for weather protection and that headlight. The Z750 is definitely better looking. I am waiting to see IF there will be an S replacement, and whether ot not Kawasaki might actually employ a stylist this time. The new Z750 looks like a glob of Play Doh some toddler squeezed in his grubby little fist.
Having said that, the following is turning up early next year apparently:

I doubt it was Play Doh Jim. Too soft and rounded. The new bike looks more like broken or shattered glass caused by stones thrown by the same grubby fisted toddler who is now a 7 year old little shit... Still I like its origami-ish styling..Sharp bits on the bike will ensure you stab yourself in an accident before you hit the deck.
Not sure about a S replacement. Perhaps they'll keep it the same.
Shiver looks OK....Wonder if there is a faired version?
I sense a paintjob in my future.
