Engineered by Suzuki for the cross - motocross motorcycle segment, the 2006 Suzuki RM-Z 250 features a 249 cc (15.2 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 77.0 x 53.6 mm (3.0 x 2.1 inches) with a 12.6:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the RM-Z 250 measures 92.5 kg (204 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 960 mm (37.8 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,475 mm (58.1 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 7.5-liter (2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
