Positioned in Kawasaki's atv motorcycle lineup, the 2016 Kawasaki KFX50 features a 49.5 cc (3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 39.0 x 41.4 mm (1.5 x 1.6 inches) with a 10.0:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the KFX50 measures 108.9 kg (240 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 635 mm (25 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 965 mm (38 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 5.68-liter (1.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
