2005 ZR750/Z750S 1 Year Review. The Best Middleweight Ever?

This bike is an amazing example of the breed in my opinion. A 748cc inline 4 making a claimed 110hp @11k rpm and 55ft/lbs of torque @8200. Top speed is a claimed 155, but doesn't feel stable at that speed at all. The suspension is great on the highway but doesn't inspire confidence thrashing the twisties. This is by far the best middleweight bike I have ever ridden despite that. The brakes are great. Power delivery is pretty linear even full throttle until 8k rpm, at which time, it tries to lunge out from under you and reach for the sky just like a Ninja 750. A perfect second motorcycle for a new rider or a fun daily driver.
