Various power outputs have been claimed for the KH100 disc valve two stroke commuter from Kawasaki when launched in 1976. The general consensus is that this 89kg (dry) had 11.5bhp @ 8000 rpm available, this was certainly the case for U.K spec machines. It proved popular as a commuting machine, with very brisk performance, allowing it to hold it’s own with fast moving City traffic, and with nice touches like stainless steel mudguards appealing to those riding in climates where winter road salt is an issue.
The KH100 was a model number change from the designation of Kawasaki G3SS to keep with the KH series (KH400, KH500 etc).
