Engineered by Suzuki for the prototype - concept model motorcycle segment, the 2013 Suzuki V-Strom 1000 Concept pairs a 996 cc (60.8 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 98.0 x 66.0 mm (3.9 x 2.6 inches) with a 11.3:1 compression ratio.
Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 840 mm (33.1 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,535 mm (60.4 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 22-liter (5.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
