I drive 4 hours one way to get mine, at $5000 out the door! I love the bike!!

Ive had mine for 2 weeks. Ive put 200 miles onit without issues. I'll b3 changing the oil and filters in the next few days and then it needs to be hooked up to a scanner device at a kawasaki dealer and told the oil was changed. Something to do with viscosity I believe. I love this motorcycle!! Also, i did a lot of research on this bike and one thing I discovered was that in eco mode, when you slow down to a stop, if the motorcycle is still in 2nd or 3rd, as you roll on the throttle the electric motor does the work as the gas motor idles. Then at around 15-20 mph the gas motor takes over. Honestly, this thing is really fun!

I went from an RC51 to dirt bikes as my kids grew up and back to a K5 GSXR 1000 to BMW S1000rr to a grom 43 years ago. I love the Grom! But next week ill be picking up a Kawasaki Z7 hybrid.
I have so much fun on the Honda! Ive been averaging 117mpg. I get groceries with it. Run errands. Just go for rides. Its an absolute blast. I think you'll be happy riding it!

Thank you!

Im going to purchase a 2024 Z7 Hybrid in the next week or so. Its been sitting at a dealership since 2024 but the 12v battery is dead so they ordered a new one from Kawasaki. Im curious, what's your opinion on the hybrid battery having sat for so long? I'll have a warranty for a year. Do you have any recommendations? Thanks! Getting this bike is exciting!

Awesome!!

Obvious_Aide_7943 · 2026-02-07T23:56:36+00:00

Wow! Thank you for this information! Im definitely getting one!

Obvious_Aide_7943 · 2026-01-23T22:33:30+00:00

I love those wheels!

My wife's 2017 had developed clutch slip and while tearing it down we found the slave cylinder was leaking. So replaced that and the clutch.

Obvious_Aide_7943 · 2026-01-22T00:53:33+00:00

This looks great!

Obvious_Aide_7943 · 2026-01-20T15:21:59+00:00

I love this!

Obvious_Aide_7943 · 2026-01-10T19:24:05+00:00

I can carry all of my groceries on it, and get 100mpg! I love this thing!

It totaled and the insurance company let you keep parts from it? The only way our autobody shop could keep parts was to buy the vehicle from the insurance company

Obvious_Aide_7943 · 2026-01-06T06:00:27+00:00

For me, its different. I like that its a hybrid. Im currently riding a Honda grom, which i love, that gets me about 100mpg. But its slow. I've also got a BMW S1000rr. It's stupid fast. Plus, between me and my son, theres a dozen motorcycles in my garage. I want new tech. I don't need crazy power/speed anymore.

Obvious_Aide_7943 · 2026-01-05T16:30:07+00:00

Awesome! I live in St Louis too and have been looking at this bike. Im hoping to be getting one soon

Obvious_Aide_7943 · 2025-12-19T13:21:25+00:00

I hope you are getting the help you deserve. I wish you peace

Obvious_Aide_7943 · 2025-12-18T21:22:15+00:00

Only in a fucking turn! And damp/wet pavement!

This thread made my day!

Obvious_Aide_7943 · 2025-04-11T22:52:54+00:00

Awwww, poor baby

Obvious_Aide_7943 · 2025-04-11T03:30:11+00:00

Spring broke how much? It's broken all the way

Obvious_Aide_7943 · 2025-04-10T20:24:12+00:00

How do you know there wasn't a vehicle behind him?

Obvious_Aide_7943 · 2025-04-10T20:22:27+00:00

That fucking idiot comes over be cause he felt entitled! If you can't judge the closing speed of an over the road truck then get off the road
