In 2011, alongside the base Z750 model, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Kawasaki Z750R, a naked motorcycle that resembled the 2007 to 2012 Z750 models. The bike was revised and came along with several modifications and upgrades.
The 2011 machine featured a sportier look than the standard model and was fitted with a new braking and exhaust system. In addition, the bike's engine remained unchanged, delivering the same performance as the base model.
Other improvements included a newly revised chassis, a fully adjustable front fork, a revised rear shock absorber, a new aluminum swingarm, radial front brakes with braided lines, and Anti-Lock Braking System as an option.
Also, the bike featured several styling upgrades, including a revised front cowl, indicator, footpegs, instruments, and handlebar ends, and ergonomics. In addition, the bike was painted in limited edition colors.
The bike's tubular backbone high-tensile steel frame was fitted with a 41 mm fully adjustable inverted telescopic fork on the front and a bottom-link Uni-Trak shock absorber on the rear, handling the suspension.
In the performance department, the 2011 Kawasaki Z750R featured the same 748cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine as the base model. As for the power figures, the engine delivered 106 hp with a peak force at 10,500 rpm and 79 Nm (58 lb-ft) torque at 8,300 rpm.
