At the heart of the 2013 CPI XR 250 allround motorcycle, CPI pairs a 227.4 cc (13.9 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 18.8 HP (13.7 kW) at 7,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 16.5 Nm (12.2 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 82.7 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 XR 250 measures 110 kg (243 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.17 HP/kg (5.85 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,230 mm (48.4 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 15-liter (4 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 2 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 750 km (466 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 120 km/h (75 mph).

Power
Compare engine output with similar motorcycles if acceleration, highway use or two-up riding matters.
Torque
Torque is useful for judging real-world pull, especially for touring, commuting and loaded riding.
Weight
Compare weight carefully because it affects low-speed handling, parking and confidence.
Fuel Capacity
Fuel capacity helps estimate touring range and how often you may need to stop.
Brakes
Brake setup is worth comparing if you ride in traffic, mountains or with a passenger.
Suspension
Suspension details can matter for comfort, road feel and long-distance riding.
Transmission
Transmission and final drive affect maintenance, smoothness and everyday usability.
