TU 250 X

1998 Suzuki TU 250 X Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Suzuki's naked motorcycle platform, the 1998 Suzuki TU 250 X relies on a 246 cc (15 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 17 HP (12.4 kW) while maximum torque reaches 16 Nm (11.8 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 69.1 HP per liter, the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.

On the scales, the TU 250 X measures 130 kg (287 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.13 HP/kg (7.65 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 740 mm (29.1 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops.
