Kawasaki's profilation of this bike

A star for the future. A brilliant MOTO ENDURO that stars on the road or off. The G5 has a smooth-running rotary valve single cylinder engine - newly designed for maximum compactness. Power to take on 33 degree grades. To run up to 70mph on the open road. Optional tuning gives it professional motocross performance. And there´s a five speed heavy-duty wide-ratio transmission for all terrain running.
