1984 Honda VT 250F -II Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 1984 Honda VT 250F -II allround motorcycle, Honda utilizes a 248 cc (15.1 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 34.2 HP (25 kW) at 11,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 21.5 Nm (15.9 lb-ft) at 10,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 137.9 HP per liter and a 1,000 rpm working window between peak torque (10,000 rpm) and peak power (11,000 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 VT 250F -II measures 149 kg (328 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.23 HP/kg (4.36 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,385 mm (54.5 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, while factory top speed is listed at 161 km/h (100 mph).
