Built around Dinli's custom - cruiser motorcycle platform, the 2015 Dinli DL 281 pairs a 750 cc (45.8 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 106.0 x 85.0 mm (4.2 x 3.3 inches) with a 10.0:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the DL 281 measures 230 kg (507 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 680 mm (26.8 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,600 mm (63 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 17-liter (4.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
