Engineered by Yamaha for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2006 Yamaha X-Max 250 utilizes a 249.8 cc (15.2 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 19.8 HP (14.5 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 20.8 Nm (15.3 lb-ft) at 6,250 rpm. With a specific output of 79.3 HP per liter and a 1,250 rpm working window between peak torque (6,250 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 X-Max 250 measures 164 kg (362 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.12 HP/kg (8.28 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 785 mm (30.9 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,545 mm (60.8 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 12.5-liter (3.3 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
