Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate and experienced riders who want a punchy, torquey in-line four without the extreme edge of a supersport.
PurposeA do-it-all naked streetfighter built for spirited road riding, commuting, and weekend backroad blasts rather than long-distance touring or off-road use.
Rider FitThe moderate seat height and manageable dry weight make it accessible to riders of average build, though the firm sporty ergonomics reward a more active riding position.
CharacterAggressive, torque-rich, and eager to be thrashed, with sharp steering geometry that rewards confident, engaged riding.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking plush long-haul comfort, pillion-friendly touring capability, or any serious off-road ability.

2006 Kawasaki Z 750 S 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 2006 Kawasaki Z 750 S, 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.
