2002 Suzuki Intruder LC 250 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Suzuki's custom - cruiser motorcycle lineup, the 2002 Suzuki Intruder LC 250 pairs a 248 cc (15.1 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 24 HP (17.5 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 23 Nm (17 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox. With a specific output of 96.8 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (6,000 rpm) and peak power (8,000 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.

On the scales, the Intruder LC 250 measures 143 kg (315 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.17 HP/kg (5.96 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 685 mm (27 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,520 mm (59.8 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 12-liter (3.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
