Review
Kawasaki’s Z750 has been one of Europe’s most successful naked middleweights. The three-quarter-liter inline-Four is a good all-around performer, efficient and versatile, nicely styled and finished. Last year, however, sales dipped sharply, due in part to the worldwide economic crisis and changes in market tastes.
In response, Kawasaki’s European branch urged management in Japan to take appropriate action to hold its position in this critical segment. Their response is the 2011 Z750R.
This “R” is a natural evolution of the Z750, which remains for sale as an entry-level model. This version was developed as a private owner would have done it himself, adding state-of-the-art components that didn’t require major reworking or machining but would result in a higher level of performance while dramatically altering the bike’s appearance.
The engine remains the same reliable and tractable, liquid-cooled, dohc, 16-valve, 748cc Four fed by 32mm Keihin throttle bodies. Power claims are 106 hp at 10,500 rpm with 57.8 ft.-lb. peak torque at 8300 rpm.
