Default Kawasaki question

Do any of the European guys on here know what a Z750 is? Is that the same as the ZX7R in the States? Much thanks.

If I may: Kawasaki imported the Z750 into Canada for a few years (as recently as 2005 or so I believe) and it was basically a de-bored Z1000 (engine based on the former ZX-9R). It was a do-it-all naked bike that looked quite sweet (better thtan the gawdy 1000). Hope this helps, if not, just ignore

I'd say that's pretty acurate here's a link on the model history.
Z750
They are nice bikes if a touch soft and heavy.
Road tests.

Hi mate, a Z750 is this: Z750 . We used to have also an half-faired version which was called Z750S.
Really terrific bike, it always sells by the truckload.

I've got a mate here in Quebec city who just picked one up last Fall. He took it for a few short rides and had fun on it. IMHO, it is one of the better looking bikes on the road, tastefully conservative looking without being overdone (which is the case with the 1000 in my opinion).
