I hadn't ridden a motorcycle in 33 years. I took the MSF class, got my M license, took a couple of private lessons from MSF folks and went out and bought a 2006 Z750S with $11,000. I very much like the sit-up riding position. I have no strain on my wrists or back. I like having my feet under me - not behind ala sport bike or in front ala cruiser. The Z750S handles well. Some reviewers have complained about needed suspension modifications but for me that is just tweak talk. I put on some frame sliders and rear spools (no center stand - darn!) and I was good to go. The bike handles well. I have pilots front & rear and the Z750S can get up and move. Twist your right hand and you are doing 80 mph. Twist a wee bit more and watch out. I'm getting almost 50 mpg. So far I'm only in for 500 miles but I take a ride every day, every other day and I return home with a big grin.

I bought this bike brand new in 2007. I installed a scorpion exhaust, and still have yet to put the k&n air filter in. This bike completely blew me away. I have riden ducatis and mv agustas tons of bikes, but for an easily affordable sport bike, this was the one. Insurance is awesome compared to a full fairing bike. If it's dropped you won't have to spend $3000 on just fairings to fix it. If you need new side fairings for this bike you can get them for under $200. This bike will pull its front wheel off the ground. Great mid sized bike that's not too small but not too big either. This bike performs awesome on back windy roads at higher speeds rather than the big bikes that take a lot more effort to get around those corners. I have had no problems with this bike whatsoever, no leaks, but the dash and fairing excessively vibrate when you hit about 70mph but that is very common for the z750s' fairing design. I highly reccommend this bike to anyone. The 2006 is great b/c it was the last of the old body styling that was sold in America, now you can only purchase the new ones in Europe with the newer features and styling.

Still very dependable. Bike is very comfortable for me- even with the stock seat. I have learned to keep my butt jammed against the rise in the seat. The power of the bike is still plenty for the street- although over time the thrill factor has gone down- but I think that is typical for most bikes that have been ridden as much as I have ridden this one. My only complaint is that a buzz has developed in the dash that is pretty annoying. I have also noticed a very small oil leak that is coming from where the gear shift rod goes into the case-- but it is very minor. The new 2010 z1000 seems to be calling me.....

I bought this bike with 7500 miles on the clock and I'm glad I did. It's very powerful and the ergos are great. The insurance is a lot lower than a full faring bike. I was lucky enough to buy a bike with a Power Commander, Leo Vance exhaust and K&N already installed so I don't know how fast a stock bike is, but this one will lift the front tire in every gear. I would not recommend this bike for a beginner because you're in triple digits without even trying. So far it has been very reliable. I have had two 600s before this bike and I love the extra power of an inline-4 750cc.

I do 5% city riding, 5% long distant riding, and 90% cannon riding. Any rpm above 6000 hold on, it really pulls you. The only bad thing I don't like is the buzz in the mirror but if you remove the mirror then the problem's solved. This is an all around bike. However it's probably not a beginner's bike in my book but it may be ok.

I have been looking at the pictures for years dreaming of getting one of these. When I finally saw a deal I made my dream a reality. And it sure is. It is so fun. I wanted neither a purely sport nor purely cruiser and this is perfect. It is worth it just for looking at it in the driveway it is so pretty and artful. People really do come up and ask about it and compliment it. I can't say enough about how much I love its looks, power, handling, and fun. Really it is a dream come true and I'm glad to be on this earth when this was made and I was able to get one. Seriously. I've dreamed about a bike like this since I was a kid. I ride it with a giddy smile on my face.

After a lot of research to find the appropriate bike, because of my height and also my passion for sport and touring bikes, I can assure you that with a little adjustment on the front forks and adding a bracket to lower the rear shock, this Kawasaki beauty can be the best option for short women. Those little modifications will give you the chance to ride a bike with easy handling, great power and torque...trust me. Including an original exhaust that can sing...promise. P.S. As a beginner, my ratings are coming mostly from my heart. I will certainly be able to give more details after next summer in 2007...cause we will eat the road.

I have been riding bikes for 25 years and have found every bike a different ride. Ok, the mirrors vibrate and the fairing gives off a vibration at 7000 rmp but if have you rode a Suzuki Bandit, that bike doas the same thing then ride a Daytona 600 and the mirrors are non- existant unless you lean off the bike. Is it a case of nit picking because we can't find anything really bad about this bike? Or was the last one you had so perfect? Up to now, I have found no problems that can't be overcome with a bit of investigation. I will post the solutions as I cure them.

Did I mention the great performance? Price was nice, too. Kawasaki stopped making these? Glad I got mine!
