2006 Zongshen GS 250 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Zongshen's sport motorcycle lineup, the 2006 Zongshen GS 250 utilizes a 230 cc (14 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 17 HP (12.4 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 16.5 Nm (12.2 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 73.9 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (6,000 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 GS 250 measures 166 kg (366 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.1 HP/kg (9.76 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 787 mm (31 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,387 mm (54.6 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 20.06-liter (5.3 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 3.36 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 597 km (371 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 116 km/h (72 mph).
