The '''Kawasaki G4TR Trail Boss''' was a 100[[cc]], [[single cylinder]], [[dual-purpose motorcycle]] manufactured by [[Kawasaki]] from 1970 through 1978.
This was a true trail bike for the expanding trail bike market in the USA featuring a unique quick-change gearing system which could change into a high/low ratio enabling it to have 10 speeds. The G4TR had raised fenders front and rear, very good front fork travel, adequate ground clearance, raised exhaust, a skid plate making this motorcycle superb for [[enduro]] use.
