Built around Lifan's custom - cruiser motorcycle platform, the 2013 Lifan LF 250-B pairs a 248 cc (15.1 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 49.0 x 66.0 mm (1.9 x 2.6 inches) with a 10.0:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the LF 250-B measures 136 kg (300 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 700 mm (27.6 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,495 mm (58.9 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 9.5-liter (2.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 119 km/h (74 mph).
