2004 Kawasaki Z750 from United Kingdom - Comments

"An excellent first bike that looks amazing and with plenty of go!"

What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?

Nothing yet, but then you wouldn't expect anything to go wrong yet would you?? Hopefully.

The only complaint I would have would be with Kawasaki's insistence on getting the first service done by a dealer to validate the warranty, & then the dealer charging stupid money to what effectively amounts to changing the oil & stamping the log book. Not usually a problem if you take the bike back to the place you bought it from through.

General comments?

Since this is my first bike, & I haven't done any great mileage, I can't really be that objective, but out of the several bikes in the class bracket I definitely feel I've made the best choice.

Every time I'm out on it though, it never fails to put a smile on my face. And it easily is the better looking bike over say the Fazer & the Hornet 600's.

Performance, handling, etc for the bike are all way above my capabilities as a rider at the minute. Which will hopefully mean that I will be happy with it for several years to come.

The only small little niggle I've noticed so far is that the bars can be a bit vibby at times, oh & the air deflector which is supposed to create 'an air dam around the rider' really doesn't work at about 120mph.

It gets uncomfortable at about 2 hours.

Oh, & the girlfriend refused to get on the back, even after I offered to get her some leathers. Which was more for me I'll admit.

I have a Z750. Put on a Corbin seat which is much more comfortable, worth the money.

The Z750 was probably not a good choice for a beginner. You should learn to ride before you even think of taking pillions. Also if you find a Z750 uncomfortable after 2 hours, your riding position is probably not quite right. The seating position of a pillion on a semi-sports bike is also crucial for safety and comfort. If he/she is holding on just with the hands, it could cause you to become unsettled.
