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.

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.
