With a unique power unit that combines a 451cm3 internal combustion engine and a compact traction motor, the world's first strong hybrid motorcycle offers riders a number of new riding experiences: a mid-size package with the instant acceleration of a 1,000cc-class supersport model from a standing start (with e-boost), fuel economy on par with the 250cc-class, and button-shift sport riding. Following on the heels of the Kawasaki’s game-changing Ninja 7 Hybrid, the Z7 Hybrid, with three different drive modes each offering a distinct riding character and numerous innovative features for riders to explore, is truly part of a new era in riding experience.
