2000 Suzuki LS 650 P Savage Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2000 Suzuki LS 650 P Savage custom - cruiser motorcycle, Suzuki pairs a 652 cc (39.8 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 34 HP (24.8 kW) at 6,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 46 Nm (33.9 lb-ft) at 3,400 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 52.1 HP per liter and a 3,100 rpm working window between peak torque (3,400 rpm) and peak power (6,500 rpm), the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.

On the scales, the LS 650 P Savage measures 160 kg (353 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.21 HP/kg (4.71 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 700 mm (27.6 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,480 mm (58.3 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 11-liter (2.9 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 130 km/h (81 mph).
