Kawasaki Z750 - any opinions?
 

I have seen a nice black 2008 (new shape) Z750 for sale and wondered if anyone had any experience or owned one of these?

I would be using it on the daily commute down A roads, the odd ride out and the occassional two up riding

test rode a 09 model, had very spongy suspension which i didn't like, sure it would be ok with some tinkering. Also didn't seem much more powerful over other naked 600's in its group

I test rode one too, then bought a street triple.

Thanks for the quick replies, the MCN review says it has spongy suspension when pushed. Did you find that? Do you think it would be alright two up?

I like the speed triple as well but this 08 Z750 is only up for £3600

didn't push it as hard as i could of as the dealer had a large amount of my money as a guaranty. but yeah it felt lazy, didn't like it.... get a test ride and see what you think everyone is different

im with amplimator tho, the street is better and i nearly bought that instead

Soulkiss has one, and he's very happy with it.

Indeed I am and would totally recommend it.

Many of the Soho Massive have had a shot, maybe they will pipe up soon :)

Suspension wise, its not that bad, but then I am not really qualified to comment having ridden only a few bikes.

It uses the same frame (but different swing arm) as the Z1000, so now that they have been around a few years, getting a Z1000 shock and swapping it for the Z750 stock one may be an option.

Personally I am considering swapping the swing-arm if the parts becomeavailable when I have the money - mainly for cosmetic reasons tho.

If you test one, then the sweet spot for the power is about 7-7.5k, if you can keep it there or above its quite fun :)

Mine has ABS, does this one?

Thanks for your replies, I do really like the look of them but the only issue I have is I dont think it would be very comrtable two up. With me and the wife it would be about 25 stone. :confused:

Re: Kawasaki Z750 - any opinions?
 

Do yourself a favour and get a thou, much better for 2 up riding and the z1000 is a much much better bike all round, better yet a speed triple.

Would have been closer to 30st when I was 2-up with T.

No real problems either in town or out of town.

I DID howerver get the Bagster one-piece seat to make things a bit better.
