Built around Kawasaki's naked motorcycle platform, the 2008 Kawasaki Z750 relies on a 748 cc (45.6 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, maximum torque reaches 78 Nm (57.5 lb-ft) at 8,300 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 68.4 x 50.9 mm (2.7 x 2.0 inches) with a 11.3:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Z750 measures 207 kg (456 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 815 mm (32.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,440 mm (56.7 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 18.5-liter (4.9 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
