Alternatively, if you're looking for other bikes which share the RF 900's Sport-Touring style with a similar size of engine then how about the 2025 Yamaha Tracer 9 GT | 2025cc.2020 Yamaha MXT 850 Niken | 2020cc.

Power and Torque:

Weighing in at 225 kgs (496 lbs) this makes the Suzuki RF 900 R S2 in the same weight category as the 2025 Yamaha Tracer 9 Triple or the 2025 Yamaha YZF-R9 Triple, give or take 50kg.

The 1995 Suzuki RF 900 shares the same bhp with the Yamaha MT-09 Y-AMT - [2025]

In terms of power the 937cc 16 valve V4 4 cylinder engine produces 135 bhp (100 kW) @ 10000 rpm similar to the 2025 Yamaha MT-09 Y-AMT [117.4 bhp (87 kW) @ 10000 rpm] or the 2025 Kawasaki Z 900 DOHC [123 bhp (91 kW) @ 9500 rpm].

The DOHC Two stroke unit throws out torque of 73.9 lb-ft (100.1 Nm) @ 9000 rpm placing it alongside motorbikes of similar performance figures such as the 2025 Yamaha Tenere 700 Rally [50.2 lb-ft (68.0 Nm) @ 6500 rpm] and the 2025 Yamaha MT-07 Twin Cylinder [50.0 lb-ft (67.7 Nm) @ 6500 rpm].

The 2011 Kawasaki Z 1000 DOHC has similar Bhp Per Ton stats as the 1995 Suzuki RF 900 R S2.

The 1995 Suzuki RF 900 R S2 has a Power to weight ratio of 600.0 bhp per ton and 328.4 lb-ft per ton. Bhp Per Ton figures of the 1995 RF 900 competing with the 2011 Kawasaki Z 1000 DOHC [624.4 bhp\ton] and the 2013 Kawasaki Z 1000 DOHC [624.4 bhp\ton].

If you're curious as to what other motorbikes have as much torque to weight then look no further than the 2014 Yamaha Star Raider 1900 [352.6 lb-ft per ton] and the 2010 Yamaha XV 1900 Raider [352.6 lb-ft per ton].
