Built around Piaggio's scooter motorcycle platform, the 2005 Piaggio X9 Evolution 250 relies on a 244.3 cc (14.9 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 72.0 x 60.0 mm (2.8 x 2.4 inches) with a 10.3:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the X9 Evolution 250 measures 76 kg (168 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 790 mm (31.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,500 mm (59.1 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 6.5-liter (1.7 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
