Built around CPI's atv motorcycle platform, the 2009 CPI XS 250 pairs a 233.8 cc (14.3 cu in) oil & air-cooled twin, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 1.7 HP (1.3 kW) at 7,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox. With a specific output of 7.3 HP per liter, the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.
The 12.5-liter (3.3 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
