Built around Scorpa's trial motorcycle platform, the 2009 Scorpa SY-250FR 15THA pairs a 249 cc (15.2 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 77.0 x 53.6 mm (3.0 x 2.1 inches) with a 10.6:1 compression ratio.
Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 665 mm (26.2 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,330 mm (52.4 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 2-liter (0.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
