At the heart of the 2008 AJS Regal-Raptor DD250E custom - cruiser motorcycle, AJS pairs a 234 cc (14.3 cu in) liquid-cooled twin, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 17 HP (12.4 kW) at 8,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 72.6 HP per liter, the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Regal-Raptor DD250E measures 150 kg (331 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.11 HP/kg (8.82 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 700 mm (27.6 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,499 mm (59 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 14-liter (3.7 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
