I have a Hornet 600 at the moment, fits fine but I'd like a bit more grunt. I've been riding under a year and the Z750 would be my third bike (after BMW F650 and Hornet)

a z750 is quite a heavy bike by todays standards weighing about the same as an average 900cc sportspike my z650 is 225kg which is heavier than most modern bikes upp to 900cc.
it depends more on how long your legs are and not actual height as some people who are tall have more upper body length and some just have long legs (like me) so as long as you can touch the floor with both feet and heels down you are tall enough, I am of slight build but wiry and manage mine with ease but i am 5'8"
so if you have short legs and cant touch with both heels a sudden sidewind at the lights will have you struggling to stop it falling on you. (its about 35 stone in weight a lot to hold up if you cant reach the floor) but as i said b4 if you have long legs its no problem.Well i am talking about a 1970s z750 dunno if you are on about the new versions which have a Seat height: 32.1 "
the old ones were higher.

Whether you're comfortable or not on a bike has more to do with proportion than height. Your leg measurements will determine whether you can get your feet down comfortably at a standstill, and whether you're comfortable with your feet on the pegs. Your hip-to-shoulder measurement along with your arm length determines your riding position from the waist up. Simple answer is find a Kawasaki dealer and try one. You should be fine though, if you're okay with a Hornet.

I have a Kwaka Z750 sitting in my garage !
I am 5ft 7".
I imagine that I could loose 6" and still manage to sraffle the beast.
So, using maths, I make that 5ft 1"
How tall are you ?

If you've been riding for almost a year & been through 2 bikes then height shouldn't matter as long as you can touch the ground & feel comfortable on the bike.

Just tall enough to reach the floor with your toes. If it too high then cut a bit out of the seat and get it re-covered.

i'm thinking the 650R extra helpful for a extra application motorbike on an identical time as the Z750 extra of a organic interest motorbike it relies upon on what you opt for. experience the Harley once you prefer to kick back and luxuriate in your self, experience the Ninja once you prefer to shred.
