Got my Zephyr yesterday (1993 ZR750 C3 model, can't find how to add a new bike model so writing review here). Had tested it unrestricted (76 bhp), now driving it restricted due to law here, performance is still excellent up to about 80-85 mph, then can't go any faster due to restricted engine. Will give an update on reliability later. Show less

Wide super torquey power, excellent suspension, handling, and braking. I've been riding dirt bikes for forty years and this bike is what I always wanted. It's a shame the Kawaski quit making them but I got mine and will be riding in the mountains of southwest Oregon for many years to come on my Kawi. Show less

Bought the Kawasaki Zephyr 750 last year (1992 model). Easy 100mph performance, even uphill! Top speed is 120~130mph. Engine produces about 80hp, with about 70hp at the rear wheel. Beware of a problem with the cylinder base gasket leaking; dealers will replace it with a metal gasket (upgrade) which is a different type than the original. Had this done last fall, no problems so far! The engine is very responsive with no dead spots, a wide torque range, and easy starting hot or cold. Would highly recommend this bike to anyone looking for the very best standard type 750cc motorcycle! This motorcycle is easily capable of cruising at 70~80mph without overstressing the engine! The chrome exhaust pipes never turn blue even on the hottest summer days! The new Kawasaki ZR-7 which is new for this year is quite similar to the Zephyr and should perform about the same, however there is less chrome on it. Show less

With a dyno-jet kit and the airbox lid removed this engine makes great power from idle to redline. The chassis is ultra stable and holds a line very well. Brakes are real good. Both power and feel/control. The clutch is typical Kawasaki: excellent durability and user friendly. This bike is a head turner. Many people love the looks of it. Show less
