At the heart of the 2006 Honda CBX 250 Twister naked motorcycle, Honda relies on a 249 cc (15.2 cu in) oil & air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 24 HP (17.5 kW) at 8,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 96.4 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 CBX 250 Twister measures 139.7 kg (308 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.17 HP/kg (5.82 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 782 mm (30.8 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance. The 16.5-liter (4.4 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 4 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 413 km (257 miles) between fill-ups.
