Engineered by Kawasaki for the enduro - offroad motorcycle segment, the 1972 Kawasaki 100 G4TR pairs a 99 cc (6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 11.5 HP (8.4 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 11.5 Nm (8.4 lb-ft) at 7,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 10-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 116.2 HP per liter and a 1,000 rpm working window between peak torque (7,000 rpm) and peak power (8,000 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the 100 G4TR measures 84 kg (185 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.14 HP/kg (7.3 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,270 mm (50 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 9.46-liter (2.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 107 km/h (66 mph).

Power
Compare engine output with similar motorcycles if acceleration, highway use or two-up riding matters.
Torque
Torque is useful for judging real-world pull, especially for touring, commuting and loaded riding.
Weight
Compare weight carefully because it affects low-speed handling, parking and confidence.
Fuel Capacity
Fuel capacity helps estimate touring range and how often you may need to stop.
Brakes
Brake setup is worth comparing if you ride in traffic, mountains or with a passenger.
Transmission
Transmission and final drive affect maintenance, smoothness and everyday usability.
