Overview

The Suzuki VANVAN 200 is a dual-sport motorcycle produced from 2005 to 2019. The 2019 model has a 199 cm³ air-cooled, fuel-injected single-cylinder four-stroke engine producing 16 hp (12 kW) at 8,000 rpm and 15 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm; wet weight is 128.5 kg.

The 770 mm seat height can make it easier to put a foot down at stops, while its 220 mm ground clearance suits uneven surfaces. Its 16 hp arrives at 8,000 rpm, so getting the most from the engine means letting it rev; the 6.5 L tank means planning for more frequent fuel stops than a larger tank would require.

Pros and cons

Advantages

Room for rougher surfaces
The 220 mm ground clearance helps keep the motorcycle clear of bumps and ruts.
Fuel injection
Fuel injection meters fuel electronically, rather than relying on a carburetor.
Electric starting
The electric starter makes starting straightforward without a kick-start routine.

Things to consider

Small fuel tank
With 6.5 L aboard, fuel stops can come around sooner on longer rides.
Chain upkeep
The chain needs regular cleaning, lubrication, and adjustment.
Limited passing reserve
At 16 hp, it has less power available for quick overtakes at higher road speeds.

How to measure

Stand barefoot with your back to a wall. Hold a book firmly between your legs, then measure from the floor to the top edge of the book.

Estimated ground reach

Both feet likely flat

You should have a stable stance at a stop, although seat width and suspension setup still matter.
