Positioned in Lifan's allround motorcycle lineup, the 2009 Lifan LF250 Cruiser features a 248 cc (15.1 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, maximum torque reaches 17.5 Nm (12.9 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox. 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 LF250 Cruiser measures 137 kg (302 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 paired with a rated consumption of 99.99 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 10 km (6 miles) between fill-ups.
