Kawasaki Z750R unveiled
Kawasaki has announced a sharper version of its middleweight Z750, the Z750R.
Handling is one of the two areas that has received most attention, with the ‘R’ getting new adjustable 41 mm upside-down front forks, a revised aluminium swing arm and a remote reservoir piggy-back rear shock.
The other is the brakes. As well as thicker 300 mm petal discs and radial-mounted four piston calipers, the bike is fitted with steel braided brake lines for improved feel.
Visually, the main differences compared to the standard Z750 are a redesigned cowl, two-tone paint and special ‘R’ instruments. One thing that remains unchanged though is the 748 cc engine, which still produces 104 bhp (77 kW / 106 PS).
Prices have yet to be confirmed, but the Z750R - which will be sold alongside the existing Z750 - is due to make its UK debut at the Carole Nash Motorcycle Live event at the NEC in November.
