Kawasaki Z750 (Z750S, Z750R)
The Kawasaki Z750 was first introduced at the 2003 Milan Motor Show and the series began with the 2004 models. The motorcycle was targeted at the Asian, North American and European markets. In Japan, this model is practically not represented.
The appearance of the Kawasaki Z750 was driven by the need to create a naked bike that would replace the Kawasaki ZR-7 and become the budget version of the flagship Z1000. So the Z750 was developed, which received the same engine as Z1000, but in a reduced volume (the old air-oil engine from ZR-7 was not suitable for environmental or according to modern technical requirements for motorcycles of this class). As a result, the engine was an in-line 4-cylinder liquid-cooled unit with a volume of 748 cm³, producing up to 110 hp. power and 75 Nm of torque.
In 2005, the Z750 lineup was supplemented by a version with a front plastic fairing - the Kawasaki Z750S .
For 2007, the Z750 undergoes a redesign, with a new muffler, brakes and engine tuning. In addition to the regular version, there are also versions with ABS.
In 2011, a new modification appears - Kawasaki Z750R . It differs from the regular version in overall dimensions, sports rear suspension, 4-piston radial calipers in front.
2013 was the last year of production of the Z750, after which it left the market, giving way to a new model - Kawasaki Z800.
