Positioned in Kawasaki's naked motorcycle lineup, the 2020 Kawasaki Dominar 400 pairs a 373.3 cc (22.8 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 36 HP (26.3 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 35 Nm (25.8 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 96.4 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 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 Dominar 400 measures 182 kg (401 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.2 HP/kg (5.06 kg per horsepower). The 13-liter (3.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 148 km/h (92 mph).
