Positioned in Scorpa's trial motorcycle lineup, the 2009 Scorpa SY-250R utilizes a 249 cc (15.2 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke layout. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 74.0 x 58.0 mm (2.9 x 2.3 inches) with a 8.4:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the SY-250R measures 72 kg (159 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 610 mm (24 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,325 mm (52.2 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.
