| The Z 750 is ready for me to test ride |
This is the 2012 Kawasaki Z750, and this is the CBU
(Complete Build Up) Unit. Took it out for a spin, this Zed does have a
sensitive throttle control, at the weight of around 200 kg, I can easily push
the bike while on it without hurting my balls.

This sport naked bike surprisingly easy to ride especially
in town. With the handle bar easily reach, and my body position with the bike
is just nice. It does make it easier to manoeuvre in traffic. With the top speed about 250km/h, I bet the wind impact and buffeting is the only problem I
have to face. It does start felt that way at the speed of 120km/h.
A new cast-aluminium engine sub-frame allows the front
engine mounts to be repositioned closer to the centre of gravity, behind the
cylinder head rather than in front, while a combination of rigid and rubber
mounts reduces engine vibration, particularly through the handlebars.  |

The bike has new, upside-down rebound and pre-load front forks, with smooth
initial action giving way to firmer damping as the forks compress; the nitrogen-charged
rear shock absorber also has longer travel. The new ignition
mapping improves power delivery where it's most needed in the mid-range. Calls
"true street performance" with its bigger brother, the Z1000 but with
a different design approach: the Z1000 kicks out serious power but the 750 is
more subtle.
No doubt the Z750 look a like with the Z1000, which is came from the same factory, and the same Zed Family. The Kawasaki still give a good stylish look and the power is always there to deliver. The only problem to me is long distance ride, because I
might have to carry my bags or strap the luggage on the bike if I wish to
travel for days or months on the road, without the windshield I might have to
endure the wind impact and the bugs. |

I'm riding a sport tourer, but when I'm on the Zed, I do
feel lighter. It's a great bike, but unfortunately the Kawasaki pull the Z750
out from the market and introduced the new Z800 in 2015. And guess what bike
that replaced Z800 in 2017?
