2015 Dafra Next 250 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2015 Dafra Next 250 sport motorcycle, Dafra pairs a 249.4 cc (15.2 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 25 HP (18.2 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 27 Nm (19.9 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 100.2 HP per liter and a 1,000 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 rpm) and peak power (7,500 rpm), 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 Next 250 measures 155.8 kg (343 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.16 HP/kg (6.23 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 790 mm (31.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,320 mm (52 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 14-liter (3.7 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
