2009 Malaguti Password 250 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Malaguti's scooter motorcycle platform, the 2009 Malaguti Password 250 pairs a 250 cc (15.3 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 21 HP (15.3 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 21 Nm (15.5 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 84 HP per liter and a 1,000 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 rpm) and peak power (7,500 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.

On the scales, the Password 250 measures 162 kg (357 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.13 HP/kg (7.71 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 778 mm (30.6 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,484 mm (58.4 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 9.2-liter (2.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
