2000 Suzuki GZ 250 Marauder Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Suzuki for the custom - cruiser motorcycle segment, the 2000 Suzuki GZ 250 Marauder features a 249 cc (15.2 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 20 HP (14.6 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 19 Nm (14 lb-ft) at 7,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 80.3 HP per liter and a 1,000 rpm working window between peak torque (7,000 rpm) and peak power (8,000 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 GZ 250 Marauder measures 136 kg (300 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.15 HP/kg (6.8 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 680 mm (26.8 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops. The 14-liter (3.7 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
