Engineered by Vespa for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2010 Vespa GTV 250 utilizes a 244 cc (14.9 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, maximum torque reaches 20.2 Nm (14.9 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 72.0 x 60.0 mm (2.8 x 2.4 inches).
On the scales, the GTV 250 measures 146 kg (322 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 790 mm (31.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance.
