At a glance

Years made: 1996 to 1997
Engine, as the records hold it: 750
Strokes: Two-stroke
Fuel system: Carburettor
Hull type: Sit-down
Model years on record: 2
Checked: None of the two SS model years verified, which needs a check against the maker's own document, which the row names, and an engine figure; all two name a source below.

Kawasaki numbers name the engine by its size class and are not measurements: a 550 is a 531, a 650 a 635, a 750 a 743.
