At the heart of the 2015 Kawasaki ZRX1200 DAEG allround motorcycle, Kawasaki pairs a 1164 cc (71 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 110 HP (80.3 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 107 Nm (78.9 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 94.5 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (6,000 rpm) and peak power (8,000 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 ZRX1200 DAEG measures 246 kg (542 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.45 HP/kg (2.24 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 790 mm (31.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,470 mm (57.9 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 18-liter (4.8 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 3.88 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 464 km (288 miles) between fill-ups.
