At the heart of the 2011 Suzuki Burgman 650 Exec scooter motorcycle, Suzuki relies on a 638 cc (38.9 cu in) oil & air-cooled twin, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 55 HP (40.1 kW) at 7,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox. With a specific output of 86.2 HP per liter, 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 650 Exec measures 278 kg (613 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.2 HP/kg (5.05 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 750 mm (29.5 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,595 mm (62.8 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 15-liter (4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.

Notes
Suzuki Electronically-Controlled Continuously Variable Transmission (SECVT) uses a handlebar control switch that allows the rider to choose between two fully automatic modes (power or normal), or a manual shift mode. Manual mode has six predetermined CVT ratios and are selected using Up and Down buttons on the handlebars.
