Built around Suzuki's naked motorcycle platform, the 2006 Suzuki GSX 1400 utilizes a 1157 cc (70.6 cu in) oil & air-cooled in-line four, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 104.6 HP (76.3 kW) at 6,800 rpm while maximum torque reaches 124 Nm (91.5 lb-ft) at 5,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through chain final drive. With a specific output of 90.4 HP per liter and a 1,800 rpm working window between peak torque (5,000 rpm) and peak power (6,800 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 GSX 1400 measures 226 kg (498 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.46 HP/kg (2.16 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 785 mm (30.9 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,480 mm (58.3 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.
