Built around Kawasaki's atv motorcycle platform, the 2012 Kawasaki KVF750 4x4 pairs a 749 cc (45.7 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 49.8 HP (36.3 kW) at 6,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 59.4 Nm (43.8 lb-ft) at 4,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 66.5 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (4,500 rpm) and peak power (6,500 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 KVF750 4x4 measures 297 kg (655 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.17 HP/kg (5.96 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,285 mm (50.6 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 19-liter (5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
