Motorhead Scrambler 250

Classics never go wrong. As with classic so is it with Motorhead Scrambler. Any Bike enthusiast would agree that its classic retro finish gives the rider a unique feel, and its vintage steampunk looks steal the spotlight.
 

Who would not like to give the impression that they are different? This, in essence, is what scrambler is all about -- esthetic attraction. The Motorhead Scrambler’s retro-apocalyptic, steampunk attraction is a definite attraction for the crowd. 
 

With retro styling making a comeback, this Scrambler is something to look forward to (the Purists are not going to disagree). The Motorhead Scrambler 250 is powered by a 223cc oil-cooled Lon-cin engine, which delivers a power of 16.7 BHP at 8,000 RPM and a torque of 17 Nm at 6,500 RPM. It uses a 520H-106 (golden chains) PZ30 Carburetor for transmission. You also get Mono shock with air damper, blacked-out inverted front forks, around the headlamp a cluster of LEDs, and a stainless steel fender. Other parts include: bar-end mirrors, spoked rim tires, a chiselled tank, a short padded seat, a slip-on steel muffler, and a spheroid tail light. A digital speed meter and a USB charger are included in newer contemporary editions.
 

Even though driven by a 223cc oil-cooled engine from Loncin, the motorcycle only provides energy of 16.7 BHP at 8000 RPM and torque of 17 Nm at 6500 RPM. That’s pretty small on the market for more than 200cc motorcycles. Through its six-speed continuous mesh transmission, all this energy is transmitted to the rear wheel. 
 

We ended up riding this motorbike on an accessible highway. When I opened the throttle, a grunty note roared the motorcycle forward. That motion, however, was small-lived because you have to keep jumping to reach the top level. After a while this becomes demanding. Before the engine started to lose its steam, mild bumps spread around the frame and the bar-end windows. Our speedo-indicated 100 km/h with certain effort before the engine felt dyspnoeic. On the highway riding, therefore, there were not many surprises. The brisk acceleration that would be fine for short runs was one area where the Motorhead Scrambler didn’t disappoint.
 

The engine has a big turning radius, and the plain and broad handlebar complements the rider’s triangle. The seating situation is relaxed and upright, making the journey feel convenient as well. The cushioning of the seat looks correct. However, the seat elevation may not be convenient drivers of all sizes. And also the pillion rider might find it a little disconcerting, the narrow location of the seat and the lack of a grab bar.
 

The Scrambler is simple and pleasant to chuck around due to its slim size and is perfect for town driving due to its lightweight. On more bumpy roads the suspension is laid mildly. The sharp bends and potholes are absorbed decently by the reversed front forks and back mono-shock with air damper. The motorcycle has in the front 110/90-R17 dual-sports and in the back 130/80-17 tyres, which give the rider excellent grip and assurance. With front and back hydraulic disk brakes, its stopping capacity is amazing, even without ABS.
