At the heart of the 2022 Yamaha XV250 Virago allround motorcycle, Yamaha features a 249 cc (15.2 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, maximum torque reaches 60 Nm (44.3 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 49.0 x 66.0 mm (1.9 x 2.6 inches) with a 10.0:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the XV250 Virago measures 147 kg (324 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 685 mm (27 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,490 mm (58.7 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 9.5-liter (2.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
