From Kawasaki's press material:
Features and Benefits - 748cc 4-Cylinder, DOHC Engine
- Based on the 953cc Z1000 engine, but with a smaller bore
- Engine tuning designed to deliver middleweight sportbike power with good response across the rev range and a broad, linear powerband
- External ribs on the sides of the cylinder enhance engine appearance
- To decrease engine weight and improve heat transfer, the cylinders have linerless chrome composite plated aluminum bores
- Lightweight aluminum engine covers
- 4-Valve Cylinder Head features a reshaped combustion chamber, intake and exhaust ports plus revised valve angle match the smaller bore
- Front cam chain guide is lightweight, mounts easily, assures accurate valve timing
- Single valve springs for less weight, reduced mechanical noise and fewer parts
- Liquid Cooled water jacket designed for optimum cooling efficiency
- Large radiator eliminates need for oil cooler, reducing weight and improving appearance
- Electronic Fuel Injection with 34mm Keihin throttle bodies with sub throttles
- Sub throttle valves are controlled by the ECU to provide precise response and make EFI performance similar to constant velocity carburetors
- Atomizing injectors provide a fine fuel mist for smoother throttle response and reduced fuel consumption
- Low-friction throttle grip barrel provides smooth operation with less fatigue
- TCBI Ignition with Digital Advance
- High-speed 32-bit processor provides precise engine management
- Spark plug-mounted ignition coils are compact and help reduce weight
- 4-into-1 painted stainless steel exhaust system
- Joined header pipes help enhance low-end power
- Race-style oval muffler adds to the appearance
- Hondeycomb catalyzer meets emissions regulations without adversely restricting power
- High-tensile tubular diamond steel alloy frame is constructed of large-diameter, thin-walled tubing for strength and rigidity
- Large-diameter 41mm front fork is rigid for great handling
- Uni-Trak Rear Suspension
- Cast aluminum linkage provide quick suspension response
- Linkage ratios offer smooth and linear suspension response
- Rear shock has adjustable preload and rebound damping
- Dual 300mm lightweight front discs with twin-piston calipers provide excellent stopping power
- Single 200mm rear disc with single piston caliper is lightweight
- High Performance Wheels and Tires
- New 6-spoke, ZX-10R style wheels are light and provide a sporty appearance
- Bikini front cowl with twin-bulb, multi-reflector headlight has ducts to help create and "air curtain" that reduces rider buffeting
- Race-inspired inner rear fender with LED tail light
- Optional passenger seat cover adds style for solo riding
- Advanced Electronic Instrumentation with similar style as the ZX-6R, the all-LCD display features digital speedometer and temperature gauge inside the radial bar display tachometer, multifunction odometer, tripmeter and clock
