Suzuki GZ 250 Marauder weight FAQ
How much does the Suzuki GZ 250 Marauder weigh?

How does the Suzuki GZ 250 Marauder weight compare with similar Suzukis?
Relatively light. On a model-level comparison, it is lighter than about 97.7% of 22 Suzuki custom/cruiser motorcycles with the same weight basis.
Are all Suzuki GZ 250 Marauder model years the same weight?
There are year-to-year differences in the supplied data. The earliest covered year is used as the baseline, with later changed values shown separately above.
What does a full tank of gas weigh on the Suzuki GZ 250 Marauder?
A full tank works out to about 23 lb (10.4 kg) from the listed 3.7 US gal (14 L) capacity. Actual fuel density varies slightly, so treat it as a practical estimate.
What does the Suzuki GZ 250 Marauder weigh with a 180 lb rider?
The approximate combined total is 480.9 lb (218.1 kg) with a 180 lb rider, based on the representative dry weight used on this page.

The calculated range is 6.72 hp per 100 lb. This ratio is usually more informative for acceleration comparisons than horsepower alone.
How much heavier will the Suzuki GZ 250 Marauder be than its dry weight?
Do not treat dry weight as curb weight. Adding the listed fuel capacity alone produces roughly 322.8 lb (146.4 kg) to 325 lb (147.4 kg); the true ready-to-ride figure can still differ because dry-weight definitions vary.
What is the estimated Suzuki GZ 250 Marauder weight with a full tank of gas?
The page calculates about 322.8 lb (146.4 kg) to 325 lb (147.4 kg) with a full tank by adding the listed fuel mass to the dry figure. Treat this as a practical estimate, not an official Suzuki curb-weight number.
What is the Suzuki GZ 250 Marauder torque-to-weight ratio?
Available data gives 4.64 lb-ft per 100 lb to 4.67 lb-ft per 100 lb. That ratio helps explain how strong the engine is relative to the bike’s mass, especially at lower speeds.
Motorcycle specifications can vary by model year, market, equipment and the exact dry/curb-weight definition. Calculated fuel-weight and ratio figures on this page are estimates derived from the supplied specifications. Confirm critical figures in the owner’s manual or on the official Suzuki Cycles website.
