Positioned in Vento's custom - cruiser motorcycle lineup, the 2009 Vento V-Thunder XL utilizes a 249 cc (15.2 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 24.1 HP (17.6 kW) at 8,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through belt final drive. With a specific output of 96.8 HP per liter, 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-Thunder XL measures 170.1 kg (375 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.14 HP/kg (7.06 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 706 mm (27.8 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops. The 12.98-liter (3.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
