Positioned in Kawasaki's naked motorcycle lineup, the 1995 Kawasaki Zephyr 750 features a 738 cc (45 cu in) air-cooled in-line four, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 72 HP (52.6 kW) at 9,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 56.9 Nm (42 lb-ft) at 7,300 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 97.6 HP per liter and a 2,200 rpm working window between peak torque (7,300 rpm) and peak power (9,500 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the Zephyr 750 measures 201 kg (443 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.36 HP/kg (2.79 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 780 mm (30.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance.
Within MotoLibrary's Kawasaki archive, this model family spans 9 indexed model years from 1991 to 1999, allowing buyers to track year-over-year changes in emissions tuning, weight and equipment.
