At the heart of the 2008 Qlink Legacy 250 custom - cruiser motorcycle, Qlink pairs a 244 cc (14.9 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 18 HP (13.1 kW) while maximum torque reaches 17.6 Nm (13 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 73.8 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 Legacy 250 measures 163.7 kg (361 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.11 HP/kg (9.09 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 711 mm (28 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,481 mm (58.3 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 15.89-liter (4.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
