Positioned in Dafra's custom - cruiser motorcycle lineup, the 2011 Dafra Kansas 150 utilizes a 149.6 cc (9.1 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 13.1 HP (9.6 kW) at 8,400 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 87.6 HP per liter, the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Kansas 150 measures 123 kg (271 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.11 HP/kg (9.39 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 860 mm (33.9 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,400 mm (55.1 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 11.6-liter (3.1 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 118 km/h (73 mph).
