2005 Suzuki GSX 1400 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Suzuki for the sport motorcycle segment, the 2005 Suzuki GSX 1400 relies on a 1401 cc (85.5 cu in) oil & air-cooled in-line four, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 74 HP (54 kW) while maximum torque reaches 126 Nm (92.9 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox. With a specific output of 52.8 HP per liter, the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.

Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,520 mm (59.8 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 22-liter (5.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
