Positioned in Aprilia's scooter motorcycle lineup, the 2007 Aprilia Sportcity 250 features a 244.9 cc (14.9 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 22.5 HP (16.4 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 21 Nm (15.5 lb-ft) at 6,250 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 91.9 HP per liter and a 1,750 rpm working window between peak torque (6,250 rpm) and peak power (8,000 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Sportcity 250 measures 148.8 kg (328 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.15 HP/kg (6.61 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 815 mm (32.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,365 mm (53.7 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 10.5-liter (2.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 128 km/h (80 mph).
