2012 Z750

Perfect Balance

The 2012 Z750 combines great street performance and aggressive styling. Specially designed for high-level street riding, this new-age street-fighter offers a perfect balance of engine and chassis performance. A broad and meaty powerband delivers hard-hitting acceleration over a smooth and linear torque curve, while the slim chassis delivers quick and nimble cornering performance. The Z750's suspension settings and tyres are tuned to deliver rider-responsive handling characteristics over a wide range of road surfaces and riding conditions. In fact, this well-balanced performance envelope is the Z750's most noteworthy characteristic. Offering just the right amount of power in a responsive and sharp-looking package, the Z750 just may be the best balanced machine of the new model year.

Sharp Handling

A slim and compact chassis gives the Z750 superb manoeuvrability and precise handling. Upgrades to cope with the demands of sports riding include a re-positioned steering head and a 41mm inverted fork dramatically increasing feel and ride quality.

Sensitive Chassis

The great handling chassis delivers superb rider feedback thanks to the stiffness balance. In addition, the relationship between the seat, handlebar and footpeg further enhances communications between rider and machine.

engine

Sensual Power

The liquid-cooled, 748 cm³, 16-valve, in-line four has been re-tuned for improved acceleration and overtaking power. Reconfigured intake ports, new cam profiles and other changes to the intake system result in a flatter mid-range torque curve.

brakes

Huge Stoppers

Just like our Ninja supersport machines, the Z750 boasts triple petal disc brakes providing superb stopping power with reduced unsprung weight and improved heat dissipation.

suspension

Superb Suspension

The 41 mm inverted fork provides a smooth action in the top half of the stroke, complemented by firmer damping in the bottom half. This produces the feeling of a long-stroke suspension initially, followed by a solid, planted feel in corners. Ultimately, this makes the bike both easier to ride and better performing.

Aggressive Styling

Aggressive, aerodynamically styled front and side cowls add to the Z750's already muscular appearance, further accentuating its powerful ‘street fighter' attitude.

Comprehensive Instrumentation

Comprehensive instrumentation gives at-a-glance information to the rider via an analogue-style tachometer, complemented by an LCD display with digital speedometer, odometer, tripmeter, water temp, fuel gauge, clock, and more.

Enhanced low-mid Performance

The stylish short-style silencer with tri-ovular cross-section has been reworked internally using latest technologies to ‘tune' back-pressure waves for enhanced response in the low-mid range.
