Built around Daelim's sport motorcycle platform, the 2016 Daelim VJF 250 relies on a 246.9 cc (15.1 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 25 HP (18.2 kW), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 101.3 HP per liter, the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the VJF 250 measures 165 kg (364 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.15 HP/kg (6.6 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 780 mm (30.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,380 mm (54.3 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 15-liter (4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
