kAWASAKI z750R 2012
(ZR750-nCf/NBF)
A Performance Version of the ever popular Z750
Ever since the Kawasaki Z750 was launched it has been the class leader in the middleweight naked bike sector having sold over 125,000 in Europe alone, Kawasaki have once again raised the bar with the New Kawasaki Z750R.
The Kawasaki Z750R is lighter sharper and more aggressive than ever before.
Take one already very good ‘real world road bike’ make it lighter give it better suspension and brakes and a sportier appearance and you get the new Kawasaki Z750R
The Kawasaki Z750R uses the 41mm front forks from the 07-09 Kawasaki Z1000 they are now adjustable for both rebound damping and preload (preload only on the Z750). These give a very sporty feel offering great sports handling.
The Kawasaki Z750R also has new rear suspension the bottom link uni-trak shock is nitrogen charged with a piggyback reservoir. This is complimented by the new pressed alloy lightweight swinging arm that has replaced the old box steel one that is used on the Z750.
The chassis is further complimented by new twin radial mount 4 piston front brake callipers that grab thicker (6mm up from 4.5mm) 300mm petal discs. A radial-pump front master cylinder and braded steel lines replace the old standard items. These offer grater-braking performance that adds to the sportier ride and feel of the Kawasaki Z750R.
The Kawasaki Z750R styling is now more aggressive such as the sports digital dash and the new more angled nose and indicators.
All of this added to the luxurious paint schemes make the Kawasaki Z750R very sharp and aggressive in its appearance.
None of these changes have taken away from the everyday usability of the Kawasaki Z750. The 748cc 104bhp (106ps) inline four-cylinder engine is still as happy to sit at 3000rpm on the ride to work as it is at 12000rpm on your favourite B road.
If you are looking for a real world bike that can do everything from the daily commute to work to the hard fast ride on a sunny Sunday but don’t want an out and out super sport motorcycle then look no further.
The Kawasaki Z750R it’s what you’ve been waiting for!!
