At the heart of the 2019 Suzuki V-Strom 250 ABS super motard motorcycle, Suzuki pairs a 248 cc (15.1 cu in) liquid-cooled twin, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 25 HP (18.2 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 23.4 Nm (17.3 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 100.8 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 rpm) and peak power (8,000 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the V-Strom 250 ABS measures 188 kg (414 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.13 HP/kg (7.52 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 800 mm (31.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,425 mm (56.1 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 17.3-liter (4.6 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 2.66 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 650 km (404 miles) between fill-ups.
