New 2011 Kawasaki Z750R
The big changes here are the addition of new, partially-adjustable USD forks and a firmer piggy-back shock, designed to address the biggest Z750 criticism: cheap, soft suspension. There’s also radial brakes, which should up the posing quotient by at least 25bhp, but the pressed aluminum swingarm should actually drop some weight and add some stiffness over the old, square steel item.The new Kawasaki Z750R features a sharper front cowl, a multi-piece cowl construction, more aggressive and a multi-faceted design that looks better than its predecessor. The luxurious two-tone coloring, front fender with new fork guard portions, sharper turn signals gives the Z750R futuristic visual appeal. The sporty R-model instrumentation is inspired from flight decks. A black-backed analogue-style tachometer sits alongside the speedometer.
Kawasaki Z750R comes with a bottom-link uni-trak rear suspension featuring a nitrogen gas-charged shock with piggyback reservoir. With the help of this suspension, the rear shocks will synchronize with the front forks, thereby offering exceptional road handling.The stunning new Z750R, launched in Europe, seems to introduce a new level of feedback and style to the popular and yet growing naked class of bikes. We are still waiting to hear whether this motorcycle will make it stateside anytime soon. Until then, below is the latest information available on the new machine.
