Engineered by CSC for the allround motorcycle segment, the 2024 CSC Motorcycles SG250 Cafe Racer utilizes a 229.5 cc (14 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 16.1 HP (11.8 kW) at 7,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 18.3 Nm (13.5 lb-ft) at 9,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 70.2 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 Motorcycles SG250 Cafe Racer measures 123.8 kg (273 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.13 HP/kg (7.69 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 660 mm (26 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,290 mm (50.8 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 15.14-liter (4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 109 km/h (68 mph).
