2009 Derbi GP1 250 Racing Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Engineered by Derbi for the sport motorcycle segment, the 2009 Derbi GP1 250 Racing relies on a 244.3 cc (14.9 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 72.0 x 60.0 mm (2.8 x 2.4 inches) with a 10.5:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the GP1 250 Racing measures 139 kg (306 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 800 mm (31.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,374 mm (54.1 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 11-liter (2.9 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
