Engineered by Benelli for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2014 Benelli Caffenero 250 features a 250 cc (15.3 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 21.1 HP (15.4 kW) at 7,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 24 Nm (17.7 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 84.4 HP per liter and a 1,000 rpm working window between peak torque (6,000 rpm) and peak power (7,000 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 Caffenero 250 measures 173 kg (381 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.12 HP/kg (8.2 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 800 mm (31.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,450 mm (57.1 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 11.5-liter (3 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
