1996 Kawasaki GPZ 1100 ABS Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Kawasaki for the sport touring motorcycle segment, the 1996 Kawasaki GPZ 1100 ABS utilizes a 1052 cc (64.2 cu in) in-line four, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 130 HP (94.9 kW) at 9,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 98 Nm (72.3 lb-ft) at 7,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox. With a specific output of 123.6 HP per liter and a 2,500 rpm working window between peak torque (7,000 rpm) and peak power (9,500 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.

Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 790 mm (31.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance.
