At the heart of the 2016 Suzuki GS-R sport motorcycle, Suzuki relies on a 149.5 cc (9.1 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 57.0 x 58.8 mm (2.2 x 2.3 inches) with a 9.4:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the GS-R measures 133 kg (293 lbs) wet (curb). 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 1,340 mm (52.8 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 15.5-liter (4.1 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
