ST250 E type

2012 Suzuki ST250 E type Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Suzuki for the allround motorcycle segment, the 2012 Suzuki ST250 E type relies on a 249 cc (15.2 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 19 HP (13.9 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 21 Nm (15.5 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 76.3 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (5,500 rpm) and peak power (7,500 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.

On the scales, the ST250 E type measures 146 kg (322 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.13 HP/kg (7.68 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 770 mm (30.3 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,375 mm (54.1 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 12-liter (3.2 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 2.08 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 577 km (359 miles) between fill-ups.
