Positioned in Benelli's scooter motorcycle lineup, the 2008 Benelli Caffe Nero 250 pairs a 248 cc (15.1 cu in) single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 15 HP (10.9 kW) while maximum torque reaches 22 Nm (16.2 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through belt final drive. With a specific output of 60.5 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 Caffe Nero 250 measures 150 kg (331 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.1 HP/kg (10 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 860 mm (33.9 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,455 mm (57.3 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 11-liter (2.9 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
