Check out this 360-degree view of the 2011 Kawasaki Z750R. It goes round a few times so you have plenty of time to take a long look at what should be another popular bike on the European motorcycle market. After the jump is another video where we see the new Z75oR in action.

Kawasaki hasn’t held back on improving its standard offering, adding more than just a few suspension tweaks to the ‘R’ racing model. Despite being designed to have greater performance, the Z750R should tick all the boxes from sports style, to urban touring. We get a front upside-down fork measuring 41mm, new rear shock and larger disc brakes.

On the design front, the new Z750R gets touched-up in the details with a redesigned, squarer top fairing, some added aerodynamic features, new instrument panel with smaller digital reading and changes to the mudguard and colour scheme with an even brighter green. This is designed as a sporty bike for those who believe mid-cylinder nakeds can hold their own on the track. It’s yet to prove its mettle, but if Kawasaki has done its job in a tough segment, we can expect something impressive.

The brand new Kawasaki Z750R will be presented in Italy on September 15. The model represents a racing development on the standard Z750 naked bike and is being revealed in Italy as it occupies the number one spot in nude bikes in that market with 2,558 sold so far.

The ‘R’ version will certainly create plenty of interest and Kawasaki is hoping to build on the successful model with a new brakes and exhaust system. We’ll be back in two weeks’ time with all the details so stay tuned.

Kawasaki is driving sales on the European market by offering some models with dedicated accessories as series editions over the summer. The ZX-10R and ZX-6R get “Performance Edition” versions for even more sports power. The ZX-10R has an Akrapovic exhaust, double bubble front shield, mini front indicators and knee protection around the tank. It gains 5hp extra, while the ZX-6R gets an extra 3 hp with the same accessories kit. The ZX-6R costs about an extra 1,000 euros with this set-up, while the ZX-10R is sold at the same price as the standard version.

The Kawasaki ZZR1400 sports touring model gets a Sport Edition kit with an Akrapovic 4-in-2 carbon exhaust which saves 6.5 kg on the bike. An increase of 5 hp is achieved and the ZZR1400 also gets the Double Bubble front. It’s on sale for an extra 1,600 euros. Meanwhile best sellers in Europe, the Z1000 and the Z750, get Sport Urban versions for city riding. Missing the Akrapovic exhaust of the other models, they get tinted wheels, aerodynamic features and fuel tank protection for 200 euros on the 750 and 480 euros on the 1000.

The 1400GTR also gets a “Grand Tour” kit for more sales appeal with a top case, GPS support, bag protection, soft internal bags and some added fuel tank protection, too. It’s sold with an additional price tag of about 420 euros. These lower prices for what are generally optional extras are not a bad strategy for sales this year. Additional incentives for motorcycle purchases are uncertain in Europe in 2010, and Kawasaki is doing something that could give its models added appeal.

Kawasaki has presented some new colours on its best seller, the Z750, one of the most successful bikes this year and undisputed leadear in the naked sector.

In a “manga” mix of shiny black and acid green, the colours are divided by a silver line. It’s called Candy Lime Green/Metallic Diablo Black and will be offered alongside the new Candy Imperial Blue and the previous Diablo Black.

No news on technical aspects, but we’re happy just with colours at this stage, although waiting until 2009 is a tough call.
