ZRX 1100

2000 Kawasaki ZRX 1100 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Kawasaki's naked motorcycle platform, the 2000 Kawasaki ZRX 1100 features a 1052 cc (64.2 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 106 HP (77.4 kW) at 8,700 rpm while maximum torque reaches 98 Nm (72.3 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 100.8 HP per liter and a 1,700 rpm working window between peak torque (7,000 rpm) and peak power (8,700 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 ZRX 1100 measures 221 kg (487 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.48 HP/kg (2.08 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 800 mm (31.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,450 mm (57.1 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 20-liter (5.3 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 230 km/h (143 mph).
