Gemma

2012 Suzuki Gemma Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Suzuki for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2012 Suzuki Gemma utilizes a 249 cc (15.2 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 22 HP (16.1 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 22 Nm (16.2 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 88.4 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (5,500 rpm) and peak power (7,500 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 Gemma measures 205 kg (452 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.11 HP/kg (9.32 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 705 mm (27.8 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,690 mm (66.5 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 12-liter (3.2 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 2.78 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 432 km (268 miles) between fill-ups.
