Built around Suzuki's scooter motorcycle platform, the 2016 Suzuki Burgman 400Z pairs a 398 cc (24.3 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 33 HP (24.1 kW) at 7,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 34.3 Nm (25.3 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 400Z measures 222 kg (489 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.15 HP/kg (6.73 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 13.25-liter (3.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 140 km/h (87 mph).
