2016 Black Douglas Countryman Deluxe 250 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Black Douglas's classic motorcycle platform, the 2016 Black Douglas Countryman Deluxe 250 pairs a 230 cc (14 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 14.1 HP (10.3 kW) at 6,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 18.3 Nm (13.5 lb-ft) at 4,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 61.3 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (4,500 rpm) and peak power (6,000 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 Countryman Deluxe 250 measures 98 kg (216 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.14 HP/kg (6.95 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 830 mm (32.7 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,500 mm (59.1 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 9-liter (2.4 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 3.13 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 288 km (179 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 100 km/h (62 mph).
