At the heart of the 2012 Suzuki VanVan 200 allround motorcycle, Suzuki relies on a 199 cc (12.1 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 16 HP (11.7 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 15 Nm (11.1 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox. With a specific output of 80.4 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 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 VanVan 200 measures 128.5 kg (283 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.12 HP/kg (8.03 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 770 mm (30.3 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,750 mm (68.9 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 6.5-liter (1.7 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
