Positioned in Suzuki's cross - motocross motorcycle lineup, the 2011 Suzuki RM250 utilizes a 249 cc (15.2 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke layout. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 66.4 x 72.0 mm (2.6 x 2.8 inches) with a 8.6:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the RM250 measures 104.5 kg (230 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 950 mm (37.4 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,465 mm (57.7 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.
