At the heart of the 2009 Keeway ATV Dragon 250 atv motorcycle, Keeway utilizes a 249.7 cc (15.2 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 11.8 HP (8.6 kW) at 6,200 rpm while maximum torque reaches 11 Nm (8.1 lb-ft) at 4,800 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 47.3 HP per liter and a 1,400 rpm working window between peak torque (4,800 rpm) and peak power (6,200 rpm), the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.
On the scales, the ATV Dragon 250 measures 221 kg (487 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.05 HP/kg (18.73 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,300 mm (51.2 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 9.3-liter (2.5 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 3.2 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 291 km (181 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 80 km/h (50 mph).

Power
Compare engine output with similar motorcycles if acceleration, highway use or two-up riding matters.
Torque
Torque is useful for judging real-world pull, especially for touring, commuting and loaded riding.
Weight
Compare weight carefully because it affects low-speed handling, parking and confidence.
Fuel Capacity
Fuel capacity helps estimate touring range and how often you may need to stop.
Brakes
Brake setup is worth comparing if you ride in traffic, mountains or with a passenger.
Transmission
Transmission and final drive affect maintenance, smoothness and everyday usability.
