The V-Strom 250 is powered by a redesigned version of Suzuki’s 248cc parallel twin that also powers the GW250. The engine produces 25 horsepower @ 8000 rpm and 17 ft/lbs of torque @ 6500 rpm. Suzuki says the engine is tuned for optimal low- to mid-range torque. Suzuki claims about 300 miles on a single tank of gas, but the gas-tank size was not released.
