2016 Kawasaki KSR PRO Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Engineered by Kawasaki for the minibike, sport motorcycle segment, the 2016 Kawasaki KSR PRO features a 111 cc (6.8 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 8.7 HP (6.4 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 8.4 Nm (6.2 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 4-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 78.4 HP per liter and a 2,500 rpm working window between peak torque (6,000 rpm) and peak power (8,500 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the KSR PRO measures 94 kg (207 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.09 HP/kg (10.8 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 750 mm (29.5 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,170 mm (46.1 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 7.3-liter (1.9 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
