Speculations have been turning in and out for a past year about the motorbike. However, there was no solid elements telling the likely-launch-date of the machine.

The GV250 is mated with a 249cc, 75° V-twin DOHC, 4 valves per cylinder engine. It delivers a top power of 20 kW @ 10500 rpm and a peak power of 22 Nm @ 7500 rpm. It's coupled with a 5 speed constant mesh transmission. Equipped with Electronic Fuel Injection, the machine will be a fuel efficient stuff.
