This side-by-side nameplate arrived as the fuel-injected evolution of Kawasaki’s original Teryx recreation utility vehicle line. Kawasaki first entered the RUV market with the Teryx 750 4x4 for the 2008 model year, and the 750 FI version followed for 2009 as the updated two-seat recreation model. It was positioned as a sporty, trail-oriented off-road machine rather than a pure work utility vehicle, helping establish the Teryx family as Kawasaki’s performance-focused side-by-side lineup.
Over its run, the nameplate was offered in several related versions, including standard, LE, EPS-equipped, and special-edition derivatives, but the core identity remained the same: a compact, V-twin-powered recreational side-by-side built for off-road play, trail use, and all-around utility in a sportier package than Kawasaki’s MULE line. The model appeared in Kawasaki’s official parts and accessory catalogs through the 2013 model year, confirming the end of the 750 FI era at that point.
For 2014, Kawasaki shifted the Teryx family to a new 800-class successor, marking the end of the 750 FI nameplate as a continuous production model. In enthusiast circles, the 750 FI is often remembered as the bridge between the original 2008 Teryx and the later 800-series machines, and as one of the models that helped define Kawasaki’s early presence in the modern side-by-side segment.
