presentation of the Z 750 2008

latest news: we are informed of a major offensive on 2 urban guerrilla fronts. Recently, there were reports of a surprise attack by a commando named Z 1000. Scouts based in the medium-displacement roadster's western conflict report a sudden strike by the Kawasaki armada. A new Z 750 lands on the battlefield.

for 2007, Kawa has decided to strengthen its position in the medium and large roadster market. But we weren't expecting a new version of the mid-size Z any time soon. A fine tactical choice on the part of the manufacturer, who will be highlighting a double offering of new, muscular Naked models. You've fallen for the new 1000, but were intimidated by its big engine? No problem: it will also be available in a 3/4-liter version.
As for the look, there's nothing to say, except that it's a real head-turner. The styling is still based on that of its predecessor, with a few subtle tweaks... a little more pronounced than on the previous-generation Z. You'll have to look closely to see them, but the differences are there: standard brake calipers instead of radial ones, less exuberant radiator scoops, no mini-bubble on the fork head, less imposing swingarm, no decorative cover on the clutch cover. These little details preserve the essentials while adding a certain lightness to the whole. Except, perhaps, for the single exhaust with dual tailpipes. Provocative, as exotic as the big Z's bowls.

light and sparkling to the eye; strong in the guts. The 748 cm3 takes advantage of this new vintage to update itself. A touch of engineering here, a dose of engine engineering there, and the 4-cylinder block (derived from the sporty ZX-9R) is said to offer more mid-range torque, greater availability, and even more liveliness and spiritedness when climbing to higher revs.
To keep up with these extra vitamins, you need a chassis that can take the strain. This wasn't a problem in the past, but Kawa is doing things right, and the 2007 frame (like the 1000) receives a lateral reinforcement bar. The front axle has not been bothered with details: it has simply swapped its conventional fork for an inverted model with a 41 mm diameter.

. The street-fighter war has only just begun, and Kawa is pulling out all the stops to reinforce its troops.

9 ans après!
French Jeff2A Model 2013
I had a Z750 from 2012 to 2014.
In 2021, to my great delight, we still see plenty of them, they age rather well and on the second-hand market, you can find some nice ones at around 4,000 euros with decent mileage.
Don't worry, an engine as solid and reliable as this, because it's not overly pushed and has plenty of torque, can easily withstand 40,000 km or even more if it's properly maintained
The rest had been rather well designed to produce a homogeneous machine at a contained price, certainly not very well suited to two-up riding, but at ease in town and on the road/highway, thanks to a rather long original transmission that makes it easy to reach a good 240 mph.
Suspension and braking were of rather basic design, but we were never caught out.
On the downside, the rather high gross vehicle weight makes the bike rather heavy and tiring on twisty roads and in really sporty mode
Frankly, it's better to buy a second-hand Z750 than a heavier Z800, which only offers 7hp more
As for the 950cc Z900, it's closer to a Z1000 than a mid-size roadster
Kawasaki should have modernized the Z750 by lightening it and boosting the engine a little more with 10/12 hp, rather than bringing out Z800s and 900s that simply copy the competition in their flight to the top with displacement...

Undoubtedly the best value for money for a roadster, quite a sporty design, it's true that the original pot is ugly, but generally on a motorcycle it's the 1st thing you replace.
The only thing missing is the gear indicator, a small box available on the market, which plugs into the diag socket under the seat in 30 seconds.

tres mou a bas regime ... super lourd
French captainchuck Model 2007
i tested one afternoon a Z750 with an akra line, ok it looks super mean, but once seated on the saddle and in town you realize that it's heavy the suspats are soft and bouncy, and above all I know it's a 4 legged bike but I find it really not very torquey to ride in town, nothing at the bottom, a little in the middle and it starts to get good in the revs.... in the end, I bought a gsr 750, which is 15kg lighter and MUCH more torquey at low revs, and the chassis is much more agile Rating : 2/5
French matgégé
That's exactly what the testers said, very average engine, cycle part not good at all. Made for guys who just got their license. Rating : 2/5
It's a really good bike, but not for beginners like I see a lot of. The 106hp engine still packs quite a punch. The sound is quite captivating, especially with a shredded pot.
We've exaggerated its handling shortcomings, but with good tires and the right suspension settings, you can have a lot of fun. Having said that, it's clear that this isn't a racing bike...

Hi there,

dynamic, energetic, nervous, pretty with a lot of character...yes yes I'm talking about my Z750 that I bought in 2011 in black and white.

Frankly, I'd recommend this KAWA to anyone who doesn't know which model to choose.

Hop on, I've just made myself want to go for a ride, I'll leave you to it and see you soon on the roads, biker friends.

:-) Michael

Ideal bike for mixed city/road use
I've just bought mine from a dealership in the 12th arrondissement of Paris, where I was offered a substantial discount, a harbinger of the imminent arrival of a new model
So much the better and take advantage of the bargain
You can't refuse a 750 for the price of a 650...

French domdu29 Model 2007
A very good machine when you pull on the gears it goes like a rocket, very easy to handle in town and on the road. Mine is a 2006 model Rating : 5/5
Hi everyone!
I own an old generation Z but a friend of mine has just bought this famous 2008 edition. We're looking at it and comparing. Inevitably, everyone preaches for their parish and thinks theirs is the best ^^ But don't worry, both are very good bikes. Reliable, fuel-efficient (as long as you're not constantly teasing the red zone) and easy to handle, they're full of quality and leave the competition in the dust.
But beware!!! I was shocked to learn of a non-negligible flaw in the 2008 model. Don't look for the trunk... Niet, nada, keutchi, walou, in short, you'll have to come back! A detail that really stands out compared to the old version, which has a handy little space under the passenger seat for a toolbox, a rain suit or (and this is really important) a disc block!
Have a good ride!

French Manuto Model 2007
It rides like a bike!
i've had the 2008 abs version for 3 months now (the first 2 of which were bridled at 34hp) and frankly, as a first bike, it's nice. On the other hand, I haven't seen any real difference in acceleration once it's unbridled, it's pretty much kiff-kiff, it just pulls the arms a bit more and you have to be careful when changing gear as it takes more revs otherwise it lifts..

I've had it for almost a year now and it's a great bike, the engine is great and the original sound is nice

You need to think about adjusting the suspension for the attacks

French PANIDIRI Model 2007
I've finally tried it, and with all the good things being said about its engine, I was expecting better... It's a good bike, the two weak points for me are the cycle part, which isn't rigid enough, and the finish. The nuts and bolts, the welds are exposed without concession and the steering gives me the impression of a big blur when cornering compared to my fz6 which runs on a raillery. bonne route a tous Rating : 5/5

Hi everyone, I don't have any questions but just a small opinion on this beaker. I've tried it and I can say that it's a real head turner. Anyway, I've ordered it in black and it's arriving at the dealership next week Rating : 5/5
