At the heart of the 2008 Tank Sports Urban Touring 250 scooter motorcycle, Tank Sports pairs a 248.8 cc (15.2 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 14.5 HP (10.6 kW), transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox. With a specific output of 58.3 HP per liter, the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.
On the scales, the Urban Touring 250 measures 145.1 kg (320 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.1 HP/kg (10.01 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 889 mm (35 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,499 mm (59 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 7.57-liter (2 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 4.05 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 187 km (116 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 126 km/h (78 mph).
