At the heart of the 2008 Aprilia Atlantic 250 scooter motorcycle, Aprilia features a 244 cc (14.9 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 28.4 HP (20.7 kW) at 9,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 20.2 Nm (14.9 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm. With a specific output of 116.4 HP per liter and a 3,000 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 rpm) and peak power (9,500 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 770 mm (30.3 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,480 mm (58.3 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 15-liter (4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
