Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with at least some prior bike experience, as the torquey inline-four and firm chassis reward confident throttle control.
PurposeA street-focused naked bike built for punchy acceleration, aggressive styling, and engaging back-road and city riding rather than long-distance cruising.
Rider FitThe 815mm seat height and 208kg dry weight make it manageable for average-to-taller riders, with a fairly compact and upright but sporty riding position.
CharacterAggressive, torque-rich, and eager to be revved, with sharp handling from its inverted forks and Uni-Trak rear suspension.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for riders seeking a plush, wind-protected long-haul tourer or anyone wanting an off-road capable machine.

2008 Kawasaki Z750 ABS 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 2008 Kawasaki Z750 ABS, with a relaxed knee angle of around 125 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.
