How fast can a 250cc motorcycle go? What is its fuel consumption?
2 Answers
A 250cc motorcycle can reach speeds of around 200 km/h, with an actual fuel consumption ranging between 2.5-3.2 liters per 100 kilometers. Speed limits for motorcycles: On highways, motorcycles are not allowed to exceed 80 km/h. Exceeding this limit may result in penalties from traffic police. Additionally, riding on highways without wearing a helmet will lead to being stopped and fined by traffic police. Carrying passengers on highways is strictly prohibited. Precautions for motorcycle riding: Avoid racing with cars, drive safely in accordance with traffic regulations, and yield to pedestrians. Do not follow too closely; maintain an appropriate distance behind the right rear corner of the vehicle ahead. When overtaking, pass from the left side of the vehicle in front; overtaking from the right side or between two parallel vehicles is not allowed.
I ride a 250cc naked bike myself, which is perfect for city commuting and weekend mountain rides. The top speed on flat roads is around 125km/h on the speedo (actual GPS about 115km/h), but I wouldn't recommend sustained high-speed runs due to wind resistance making the lightweight bike unstable. Fuel consumption depends on engine technology - my liquid-cooled EFI model gets about 2.6L/100km with gentle riding, but can reach 3.4L/100km when frequently revving at 7,000-8,000rpm. Single-cylinder engines may consume slightly more fuel but have cheaper maintenance, while twins run smoother but often have smaller fuel tanks. Remember tire pressure affects fuel economy too - last time mine was low, it burned an extra half liter per 100km.
