2016 · Cruiser
The 2016 ATK GV250 represents a compelling option in the entry-level cruiser segment, continuing ATK's tradition of offering accessible and stylish motorcycles. This particular model year fit squarely into a competitive landscape, vying for attention against established rivals such as the Kawasaki Eliminator 250V and the Honda Rebel 250. Its distinctive V-twin architecture set it apart from many of its single-cylinder contemporaries, aiming to deliver a more substantial riding experience for new and returning riders.
At the heart of the GV250 is a liquid-cooled, 75° V-twin engine displacing 249.00 ccm (15.19 cubic inches). This powerplant produces 25.00 HP (18.2 kW) at a spirited 10000 RPM, indicating a willingness to rev. Torque figures stand at 22.04 Nm (2.2 kgf-m or 16.3 ft.lbs) peaking at 7500 RPM, providing usable thrust for its weight class. With a dry weight of 149.7 kg (330.0 pounds), the engine’s output provides adequate motivation. Fuel capacity is a practical 14.00 litres (3.70 gallons), allowing for reasonable range between fill-ups.
Riding the GV250 offers a comfortable, low-slung cruiser experience. The seat height is a very approachable 762 mm (30.0 inches) (if adjustable, lowest setting), making it easy for riders of varying heights to flat-foot at stops. Its cruiser ergonomics typically feature forward-mounted controls and a relaxed handlebar position, contributing to a comfortable upright stance ideal for extended periods in the saddle. The V-twin rumble, characteristic of this engine type, adds to the authentic cruiser feel without being overly intrusive.
The ATK GV250 2016 model is primarily aimed at new riders, those seeking an approachable and confidence-inspiring motorcycle, or even experienced riders looking for a lightweight, economical second bike. Its manageable power output, low seat height, and traditional cruiser styling make it a strong contender for urban commuting and leisurely weekend rides. For riders prioritizing a classic cruiser aesthetic and the distinct feel of a V-twin engine in a quarter-liter package, the GV250 offers a valuable proposition.
