KAWASAKI Zephyr 750 (1992-1997) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Kawasaki Zephyr was a retro-styled naked motorcycle part of the Zephyr family that comprised three other motorcycles with different engine displacements but similar appearances.

The range comprised four models with different engine capacities, such as 400, 550, 750, and 1,100cc displacements with an air-cooled system. The Kawasaki Zephyr 750 and the 400 and 550cc models had the engine based on the earlier Z400-900 series.

In the aesthetic department, the bike was similar to its siblings, packing standard features, such as a round headlight with instruments mounted on top, a one-piece dual seat with a passenger grab rail, a right side-mounted four-into-one exhaust system, and three-spoke lightweight aluminum wheels.

The 1992 Kawasaki Zephyr 750 had installed underneath its fuel tank a 738cc four-stroke four-cylinder air-cooled engine with four Keihin carburetors in charge, delivering 72 hp at 9,500 rpm and 54 Nm (40 lb-ft) torque at 7,500 rpm.

The bike's engine was tied to a five-speed manual transmission with a wet multi-plate clutch linked to the rear wheel through a final chain drive, pushing the motorcycle to a top speed of 202 kph (126 mph).

In the suspension department, the bike packed a 41 mm telescopic fork on the front with 140 mm wheel travel and dual gas-charged fully adjustable shock absorbers on the rear with 115 mm wheel travel.
