Positioned in Suzuki's scooter motorcycle lineup, the 2012 Suzuki Burgman 400 ABS relies on a 398 cc (24.3 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 81.0 x 77.6 mm (3.2 x 3.1 inches) with a 10.6:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Burgman 400 ABS measures 222 kg (489 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 710 mm (28 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,585 mm (62.4 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 13.5-liter (3.6 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 4.2 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 321 km (199 miles) between fill-ups.
