Gilera NGR 250 (reduced effect)

The 1987 Gilera NGR 250 (reduced effect) features a 249cc engine, but with a slightly higher power output of 27 horsepower at 6150 RPM compared to the 1988 model. It shares the same listed top speed of 138 km/h (85.7 mph) and a 5-speed gearbox. This suggests similar performance characteristics, with the earlier model perhaps offering slightly quicker acceleration. Like the 1988 version, the 1987 NGR 250 boasts a large 22-liter (5.81 US gallons) fuel tank for extended range. Dual disc brakes at the front underscore its focus on adequate stopping power. The 'reduced effect' designation again implies a restricted power output for regulatory reasons. This motorcycle, like its successor, would likely attract riders interested in classic motorcycles or those seeking a more affordable option in the 250cc class. The slightly higher horsepower figure might make it a more desirable choice for riders prioritizing performance, though the difference is likely minimal in real-world riding.
