Technical Overview
2016 Veli VL250GS RZ Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Built around Veli's naked motorcycle platform, the 2016 Veli VL250GS RZ utilizes a 250 cc (15.3 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 20.8 HP (15.2 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 19.5 Nm (14.4 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 83.2 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (5,500 rpm) and peak power (7,500 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the VL250GS RZ measures 150 kg (331 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.14 HP/kg (7.21 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 1,380 mm (54.3 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 13-liter (3.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 130 km/h (81 mph).
