Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits an intermediate to experienced rider comfortable with a strong in-line four powerplant and sporty handling.
PurposeBuilt as a naked streetfighter, it excels at spirited road riding, commuting with attitude, and weekend backroad blasts.
Rider FitA moderate seat height and 226 kg dry weight make it manageable for average-height riders but still substantial enough to require confident low-speed control.
CharacterAggressive, torquey, and raw, it delivers an engaging naked-bike experience with sharp throttle response and minimal wind protection.
Not Ideal ForIt is not well suited to off-road use, long-distance touring comfort, or riders seeking a light, beginner-friendly first bike.

2009 Kawasaki Z750 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 815mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2009 Kawasaki Z750, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
