At the heart of the 2020 Suzuki GSX250R sport motorcycle, Suzuki features a 248 cc (15.1 cu in) liquid-cooled twin, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 24 HP (17.5 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 22 Nm (16.2 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 96.8 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 rpm) and peak power (8,500 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the GSX250R measures 178 kg (392 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.13 HP/kg (7.42 kg per horsepower). 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 1,430 mm (56.3 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 15-liter (4 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 3.1 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 484 km (301 miles) between fill-ups.
