Built around Suzuki's naked motorcycle platform, the 2000 Suzuki GSF 250 V Bandit features a 248 cc (15.1 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 45 HP (32.8 kW) at 14,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 25.5 Nm (18.8 lb-ft) at 10,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 181.5 HP per liter and a 4,000 rpm working window between peak torque (10,500 rpm) and peak power (14,500 rpm), the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the GSF 250 V Bandit measures 165 kg (364 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.27 HP/kg (3.67 kg per horsepower). The 11-liter (2.9 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 190 km/h (118 mph).
