Built around Motobi's classic motorcycle platform, the 2014 Motobi Zanzani 250 relies on a 249 cc (15.2 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 75.0 x 57.0 mm (3.0 x 2.2 inches) with a 11.0:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Zanzani 250 measures 117 kg (258 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,310 mm (51.6 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 16-liter (4.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
