Engineered by Vento for the custom - cruiser motorcycle segment, the 2012 Vento V-Thunder XL relies on a 249 cc (15.2 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 24.1 HP (17.6 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 16 Nm (11.8 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through belt final drive. With a specific output of 96.8 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (6,000 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.
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.
Within MotoLibrary's Vento archive, this model family spans 6 indexed model years from 2007 to 2013, allowing buyers to track year-over-year changes in emissions tuning, weight and equipment.
