Kawasaki Z750S reviews

I have had this red Z750 for 8 months now and am enjoying every moment of riding. It has a very powerful motor and its handling is like that of a sports bike. I've managed to top 245 kms/h on a recent trip to Sicily and I enjoy the way the power surges when it reaches 7000rpm. I go out for group rides with XX1100's, Z1000's, Fireblades and a Ducati 916 and my little Z keeps its own with them!! Show less

When I first got the bike I noticed vibration in the handle bars and the seat seemed to slope down. Now after some time and miles those issues have gone away. It has a good power band and handling. The only thing I wish was different is that the exhaust would be under the seat. Show less

This is an excellent bike. Like many others it's my first street bike. I also like how it is a street bike but still retains its sport likeness. I bought this bike while I was in the army on leave and loved everyone minute of riding it from the first time I sat on it. The best thing about it is its quickness and it will take most anything that your friends can put up to it. I haven't found any upgrades for it though, I'm still looking. Show less

It's been a while since I've owned my own bike since I have great friends. Playing on their FZ600, V-strom 650, Bandit 1200, and a GSX for the past few yrs.; the boss told me I could play with the boys on my very own bike. Being shot out of a cannon, I had my face in every review posted on the net looking for the right bike for me. I love my buddy's Bandit 1200 because it had amazing kick, almost suicidal, but I needed a bike with better handling, better sitting position and less wind hammering on my chest. I found a new Blue FZR650 at my local bike shop and liked the bike but didn't have that wow or tingling feeling I was look for. A week later, this gem (a red Z750S) arrives and my wife (the boss) and my son are inedited with information on our new addition to the family. This bike looks, feels, sounds, handles like no other. She handles corners almost as good as Super sport bike (the GSX) but allows me comfort to commute back and forth to work. The power is smooth below 5,000 RPM's, which keeps me from zooming all over town attracting the police, but has the balls to move after 6,000 RPM's. By 9,000 RPM's you have to hold on as only my buddy on the Bandit can keep up. The nice thing is I can smoke 'em around the corners. In short, I'm 39, with a body that feels like 59, and since I'm not a cruiser type rider, my body can't handle the GSX's and FZ's nor ZZ1, the Kawasaki Z750S total rocks with upright riding position that still makes me feel like I'm 29. Maybe the old 40 really is the new 30. I'll let you know next summer. Show less

I have 445 miles on my bike and have been pleased with it! Like many other post I have read, I will agree that the seat does have some comfort issues. I love the way it handle's and can't wait to reach the break-in mileage, so I can really let that Kaw 4 go!! I have had a few problems with shifting (notchey) which should get better with break-in! I have ordered a new Corbin seat for comfort and the slant to the tank riding position that it seem's to have. Show less

So I finally got the approval from HQ (my wife) to buy a bike. I was ready to purchase a buddys 03 Yamaha FZ1 (great bike) but decided to check out some new bikes first. Another buddy and I ran down to the cycle shop and he pointed out the Z750S and I'm glad he did. He has an 04 Z1000. For just a little more than the FZ1 I bought the Z750S (7/06/05). Although I grew up on dirt bikes, this was my first street bike so I was a little nervous, until I started riding it that is. This bike rocks... It's cake to ride (excellent balance), it handles the corners excellent, great performance, great gas mileage and its looks are excellent. Oh, and it's very affordable. I must admit though that the side mirrors could have been positioned better. Show less

I just traded in my 03 r6 for the z750s. For the most part I love it but I am having a heck of a time locating neutral on this bike. I can practically never find it while downshifting to a stop...I have to usually be completely stopped to even have a chance of finding it. Am I missing something here? Show less

I have been thrilled with this bike since I bought it. But I didn't want to review it untill I had aleast 1000 miles on it. This is a do anything kind of bike, commute, sport ride, sport tour, cruise. I like to compare it too a 03 VFR interceptor which I spent 3000 miles on. Price: Z750s 7099 vs Vfr 10999 Comfort: Vfr has better seat but the Z has a better seating position and better wind protection. Maybe because I'm a little heavy I have not experienced sliding into the tank like I have heard from others. The Z puts you up right and the Vfr leans you forward which puts cramps in my neck. Ride and handling: The Vfr has a better suspension and can be pushed harder through the curves, but you are way beyond sane when you reach the limits of the Z. Ride quality is about the same, maybe a little firmer on the Z even though I have read reviews saying its soft. Everything else about the Z is better. It is just an all around great bike!!!!

I must say that I have only just passed my test and went out to test ride a selection of bikes that I was assured by friends that the following bikes would be a good starter Bike, they are as follows: (600 Versions unless stated)Honda Hornet, Susuki Bandit and the Yamaha Fazer, now you can imagine my excitement, passed test and arranged to do all my demo rides on the same day. I thought I better mention it, I am not new to biking as my last bike was a RD350LC only that was 15 or so years ago. Anyway I went and did the demo runs and rank the three bikes in the following order 1st Yahama Fazer, followed closeley by the Honda Hornet and last was the Susuki Bandit. The New Fazer is a great bike but would not entertain the unfaired iption as I feel it is ugly from the front end (just my opinion). Anyway to cut a long story short, My Motor bike instructor Mick, pointed out that I ought to try out the Kawasaki 750S as he felt that this was better than the three, he rides an old style fazer by the way. So I did and what a bike, it leaves the other three in its wake in my oppinion and you get an extra 150cc for the same money. I have read the other reviews and feel after three hundred miles on it the only thing I can find a little bit irritating is the wing mirrors could be a little longer as you do have to pull in your elbows to get a good view behind, nothing terrible though and they could have put a full stan on the bike, other than that you will be grinning all the way home. Its grin factor is amazing it's fast, agile, sure footed and comfortable, what more could you ask for at a price of $5,000, you couldn't get better in my opinion. Well done Kawasaki, keep up the good work!!! Show less

Beautiful,simple not too extravagant daytona full race looking wanna be racer type sportbike. It packs enough power for the novice and experienced rider to experience pure adrenaline rush. It's deffinately up there with the bigger boys gsxr's and r6's and cbr's. I love this bike so much because it's appeal is so much different, it separates me from the rest of the usual sportbike scene...I get alot of stares and it sure feels good. I give it an A!!!!!
