Built around Kawasaki's atv motorcycle platform, the 2014 Kawasaki KVF360 4x4 features a 362 cc (22.1 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 21.1 HP (15.4 kW) at 7,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 26.1 Nm (19.3 lb-ft) at 5,250 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 58.3 HP per liter and a 1,750 rpm working window between peak torque (5,250 rpm) and peak power (7,000 rpm), the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.
On the scales, the KVF360 4x4 measures 291 kg (642 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.07 HP/kg (13.79 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,255 mm (49.4 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 13.5-liter (3.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
