Built around Suzuki's super motard motorcycle platform, the 2017 Suzuki V-Strom 250 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 24.7 HP (18 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 99.6 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.
The 17-liter (4.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
