1992 Honda NX 250 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Honda for the allround motorcycle segment, the 1992 Honda NX 250 relies on a 249 cc (15.2 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 26 HP (19 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 22 Nm (16.2 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 104.4 HP per liter and a 3,000 rpm working window between peak torque (5,500 rpm) and peak power (8,500 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 NX 250 measures 133 kg (293 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.2 HP/kg (5.12 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 820 mm (32.3 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,350 mm (53.1 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 9-liter (2.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 128 km/h (80 mph).
