Engineered by Alfer for the enduro - offroad motorcycle segment, the 2001 Alfer VR 250 utilizes a 250 cc (15.3 cu in) single cylinder, two-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 54 HP (39.4 kW), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 216 HP per liter, the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the VR 250 measures 104 kg (229 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.52 HP/kg (1.93 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 950 mm (37.4 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,515 mm (59.6 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 9.5-liter (2.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
