Engineered by Husqvarna for the cross - motocross motorcycle segment, the 2005 Husqvarna CR 250 utilizes a 249 cc (15.2 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke layout. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 66.4 x 72.0 mm (2.6 x 2.8 inches) with a 8.4:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the CR 250 measures 94.8 kg (209 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 980 mm (38.6 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,470 mm (57.9 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 8.5-liter (2.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
