Built around Suzuki's scooter motorcycle platform, the 2014 Suzuki Burgman 400 utilizes a 398 cc (24.3 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 33 HP (24.1 kW) at 7,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 34.4 Nm (25.4 lb-ft) at 5,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 82.9 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (5,000 rpm) and peak power (7,000 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Burgman 400 measures 218 kg (481 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.15 HP/kg (6.61 kg per horsepower). 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 3.5-liter (0.9 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
