At the heart of the 2011 Suzuki VZR 1800 custom - cruiser motorcycle, Suzuki utilizes a 1783 cc (108.8 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, maximum torque reaches 160 Nm (118 lb-ft) at 3,200 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through shaft drive (cardan) final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 112.0 x 90.5 mm (4.4 x 3.6 inches) with a 10.5:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the VZR 1800 measures 319 kg (703 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 705 mm (27.8 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,710 mm (67.3 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 19-liter (5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
