Introduced at Daytona in 1975, the KR750’s piston-port two-stroke three-cylinder engine with liquid-cooled aluminium cylinders was significantly slimmer than that of the H2R. That year Mick Grant won the English Superbike Championship on a KR750. In 1976 Gary Nixon took 2^nd in the FIM F750 class championship. The KR750 provided Kawasaki with some of their most important racing results, and did much to promote the company’s performance image.
