2011 Kawasaki 250TR Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Kawasaki's enduro - offroad motorcycle lineup, the 2011 Kawasaki 250TR utilizes a 249 cc (15.2 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 25.5 HP (18.6 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 19 Nm (14 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 102.4 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (6,000 rpm) and peak power (7,500 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 250TR measures 146 kg (322 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.17 HP/kg (5.73 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 775 mm (30.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,650 mm (65 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 6.6-liter (1.7 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
