Kawasaki Zephyr 750cc 92/93 (K)

Review

May one day be a semi-classic. Good points are the retro look which makes it a bit different from the usual naked bike. Bad points are many and really as no bike is without bad points whether you put up with them or not is down to personal taste. I've never done more than 100mph on the 750cc and wouldn't recommend trying as a major amount of wobble kicks in at 100 (and yes I have had the wheel alignment checked). Seat is a little on the hard side especially over long distances. Very low speed handling is less stable than simiilar sized bikes such as the Fazer or Honda hornet. Good used down-pipes replacements are getting hard to find. No new replacement options exist for the original 4 into 2 exhaust and the 4 into 1 Nexus looks horrible!!! I'm considering using the London Chroming Co to restore existing pipes but this will put a serious dent in the wallet!

I have owned a zephyr 750 for 5 years. Basically it is a retro and this is down to taste at the end of the day as to which you prefer. It is a proper middleweight bike for the old school biker. This is for basic motorcycling and for that purpose she is fine. Decent brakes, good acceleration when needed, corners well (at sensible speeds). Let's be honest you can't do 125 mph on a sit up and beg, but she is comfy at 75 on the M6 and will accelerate quickly from that if needed..........but a small touring fairing helps a lot.
Everything is easy to get at for maintenance purposes.
Pads, filters, plugs are all cheap enough.
It is booted with Avon Azarro's.........plenty good enough and seem to be wearing very well. I feel very safe on them in the wet.
Bad points for me are:
Exhaust system rots readily at the balance pipe area...........well expensive to replace with new downpipes (£400+). Most will weld/plate it up at the first signs of rot. When all else fails there is always motad nexxus......but that aint cheap either.........and they dont look right (personal opinion). Keep on top of it by treating/repainting the balance pipe area.
The eagle eyed will note an absence of the offending exhaust in the pic of my bike. I have plated the exhaust and it is going back on the bike soon.
Apologies for the state of the bike. The alloys are not great and will need a lot of polishing to get them back to former glory. I am not a fair weather biker so there is a price to be paid for that. So get the winter salt off asap if you want to keep the shine.
Camchain rattle on start-up is fairly normal for this bike. It is annoying, but it does quieten down once warm.
I think this bike is much maligned compared to the bandits, which seem more popular. But for me it is a good solid bike for the money, and you can pick them up for less than a grand in very good nick.
This bike will do 45 to 50 MPG if maintained properly and ridden sensibly.
It is not an exciting bike for the sports minded, but well worth a look in my opinion as a good getaround bike. It is a good commuter bike in heavier town traffic and over longer distances. I am 6 ft tall and find the riding position comfortable, albeit a little disconcerting at first till you get used to it.
I enjoy riding it, but have not tried it in excess of 100 miles yet, so can't speak for touring capability.It would definately need a screen for that purpose in my opinion.
I hope this is helpful.
