Although I've never owned one, I've always heard that the 750 seat was very uncomfortable.
The engine is similar to that of a TDM i.e. shim under bucket with possibly a five valve head (FZR1000 technology) i.e. cams out should valves need adjusting. Not for the inexperienced home mechanic.
I've also heard that the gearbox is not the best, a la early TDM's.
I have seen some XTZ's fitted with the later TDM850 engine with the 270 degree firing order that mimics a 90 degree v-twin, which should provide better traction and the added bonus of a better gearbox.
As stated earlier, I've not owned one and I stand to be corrected but all of the above is true IMHO.
