Engineered by Honda for the naked motorcycle segment, the 2017 Honda VTR-F 250 pairs a 249 cc (15.2 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 30 HP (21.9 kW) at 10,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 22 Nm (16.2 lb-ft) at 8,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 120.5 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (8,500 rpm) and peak power (10,500 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 VTR-F 250 measures 161 kg (355 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.19 HP/kg (5.37 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 725 mm (28.5 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,405 mm (55.3 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 12-liter (3.2 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 2.5 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 480 km (298 miles) between fill-ups.
