Engineered by MV Agusta for the sport motorcycle segment, the 1970 MV Agusta 250B relies on a 247 cc (15.1 cu in) air-cooled twin, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 19 HP (13.9 kW) at 7,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through chain final drive. With a specific output of 76.9 HP per liter, the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the 250B measures 142 kg (313 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.13 HP/kg (7.47 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 13-liter (3.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 135 km/h (84 mph).
