A later 750 four in the Z range, sold with air-assisted forks, a 22 litre tank and dual rear shocks with adjustable preload and damping. The review found it comfortable with strong low and midrange power, though its handling trailed the earlier model. The text compares it with the KZ750 successor that replaced it.
