VX 800

1993 Suzuki VX 800 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Suzuki's motorcycle platform, the 1993 Suzuki VX 800 utilizes a 805 cc (49.1 cu in) v2, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 63 HP (46 kW) at 6,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 73.6 Nm (54.3 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox. With a specific output of 78.3 HP per liter and a 1,000 rpm working window between peak torque (5,500 rpm) and peak power (6,500 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 VX 800 measures 213 kg (470 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.3 HP/kg (3.38 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 710 mm (28 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops. The 19-liter (5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
