Technical Overview
1971 Suzuki T 350 R Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Engineered by Suzuki for the classic motorcycle segment, the 1971 Suzuki T 350 R utilizes a 315 cc (19.2 cu in) air-cooled twin, two-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 40 HP (29.2 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 39.2 Nm (28.9 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 127 HP per liter and a 1,000 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 rpm) and peak power (7,500 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 T 350 R measures 154 kg (340 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.26 HP/kg (3.85 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,300 mm (51.2 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 15-liter (4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 168 km/h (104 mph).
