The '''Kawasaki G5''' was a [[dual-purpose motorcycle]] manufactured by [[Kawasaki]] from 1972 through 1975 sharing the Kawasaki 100cc stable with the [[Kawasaki G4TR/KV100|Kawasaki G4TR]]. A very decent trail or off-road bike, the G5 had sufficient power and torque. In many ways, it filled the 100cc gap in the [[Kawasaki F-series|F-series]]. The G5 was replaced by the [[Kawasaki KE100]] in 1976.
