In 2008, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Kawasaki Z750. This multi-class motorcycle came in the same package as the previous model without any significant modifications or improvements except for color alterations.
Before the 2008 model year, the last revision was in 2007, when the bike received several stylistic and mechanical changes, including a bikini fairing, a revised engine with less vibrations, more low-end torque, an inverted front fork, and petal brake discs, both front and rear.
The Kawasaki Z750 was a multi-class motorcycle produced by Kawasaki between 2004 and 2012 as a smaller version of the Kawasaki Z1000. After the Z1000 model was released in 2003, the manufacturer launched the Z750 model in 2004 as an economy motorcycle.
It was built around a tubular backbone high-tensile steel frame with a 41 mm telescopic fork on the front, providing 120 mm of travel and a bottom link Uni-Track adjustable shock absorber on the rear, handling the bike's suspension.
Two 300 mm semi-floating petal discs mounted on the front wheel coupled to dual-piston calipers and a 250 mm disc with a single-piston caliper mounted on the rear wheel achieved the braking power.
As for the power figures, the 2008 Kawasaki Z750 had its soul brought to life by a 748cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 106 hp at 10,500 rpm and 79 Nm (58 lb-ft) torque at 8,300 rpm.
