Engineered by Kawasaki for the classic motorcycle segment, the 1976 Kawasaki KH100-B7 utilizes a 99 cc (6 cu in) single cylinder, two-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 10.5 HP (7.7 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 9.8 Nm (7.2 lb-ft) at 7,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 106.1 HP per liter and a 500 rpm working window between peak torque (7,000 rpm) and peak power (7,500 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 KH100-B7 measures 84.4 kg (186 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.12 HP/kg (8.04 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,150 mm (45.3 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 7.94-liter (2.1 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 3.92 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 203 km (126 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 105 km/h (65 mph).

Notes
Spark Plug: B8HS Top Speed is greatly dependent on weight/size of rider!
Use this page to compare this motorcycle by its real specifications, not only by model name. Focus on the details that affect fit, comfort, handling, range and ownership.
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.
Suspension
Suspension details can matter for comfort, road feel and long-distance riding.
Transmission
Transmission and final drive affect maintenance, smoothness and everyday usability.
