2012 Veli VL250GS-5 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Engineered by Veli for the sport motorcycle segment, the 2012 Veli VL250GS-5 features a 250 cc (15.3 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 24.8 HP (18.1 kW) at 9,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 21 Nm (15.5 lb-ft) at 7,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 99.2 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (7,500 rpm) and peak power (9,000 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 VL250GS-5 measures 180 kg (397 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.14 HP/kg (7.26 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,398 mm (55 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 15-liter (4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
