I think that's what we'd all like to know....

Wonder how it will sit with the Z750.

Stripped version of the new ninja 650R by the look of it.

Wonder how close the mechanicals are?

I reckon it would be a good update for your bike Smitty.... It would be a similar riding style etc.... and probably goes like the clappers...

According to the articles I have read it only puts out 66kw
Can't remember what the weight is, but it may JUST be able to pull the skin off some custard

75 I think? Doesn't meet LAMS requirements here in SA.

Dropped in to my local Kwakka dealer today and they have a couple of black ones there. I reckon they look fantastic in the flesh and Smitty's right, the seat height is quite low.

53 kW {72.1 PS} / 8,500 rpm

66 N·m {6.7 kgf·m} / 7,000 rpm

174 kilo's

Sporty commuter perhaps?

anybody know the cost to put it on the road??

ZX10R King · Post by **ZX10R King** » Mon Dec 05, 2005 4:11 pm

Ok, just spoke to Pro Kawasaki.

$9990 for the naked + on roads

add $800 for faired one

They will be putting a demo on the road when they arrive, which should be soon.

If u test ride one, you go in a draw, and you maybe able to win one.....

That puts it band-smack in the Z750's price range...interesting Kawasaki business tactic

Brilliant marketing imho, purely for those under 5'5" or anyone sneaking up from a limited licence.
The best bit is we will never have to hear the sentence "try a ducati monster 600 they have a low seat height" ever ever ever a-fuggin-gan.

I reckon there will be a fair bit of "EGO Damage" done in the hills with these 60-70hp imho.

Go get 'em My fellow "Cute enhanced Scoot riders"

Cheers Brett

If you put an after market exhaust and air filter on there, you would be able to get a bit more grunt... wouldnt ya?
