Positioned in Suzuki's cross - motocross motorcycle lineup, the 2003 Suzuki RM 250 pairs a 249 cc (15.2 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 66.4 x 72.0 mm (2.6 x 2.8 inches) with a 9.0:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the RM 250 measures 96 kg (212 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 965 mm (38 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,470 mm (57.9 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 8-liter (2.1 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
