1995 Kawasaki ZXR 750 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Kawasaki for the sport motorcycle segment, the 1995 Kawasaki ZXR 750 pairs a 749 cc (45.7 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 121 HP (88.3 kW) at 11,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 76.5 Nm (56.4 lb-ft) at 10,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 161.5 HP per liter and a 1,000 rpm working window between peak torque (10,000 rpm) and peak power (11,000 rpm), the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.

On the scales, the ZXR 750 measures 205 kg (452 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.59 HP/kg (1.69 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 800 mm (31.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance.
