Introducing the 2008 AlphaSports Alpha 250 Naked motorcycle—a striking example of minimalist design paired with robust performance. As a naked bike, it embraces an unadorned aesthetic that highlights its powerful engine and agile handling, making it an appealing choice for urban riders and enthusiasts alike. With AlphaSports having transitioned to Tomberlin, the Alpha 250 Naked represents a unique opportunity to own a piece of motorcycle history that captures the spirit of freedom and adventure inherent in two-wheeled travel. At the heart of the Alpha 250 Naked lies a potent V2, four-stroke engine with a displacement of 249cc, generating a commendable 28 horsepower. This power is effectively harnessed through a reliable 5-speed gearbox, providing smooth acceleration and a thrilling ride experience. The dual Mikuni carburettors ensure optimal fuel delivery, while the oil and air cooling system keeps the engine running efficiently even in demanding conditions. Weighing in at just 139.3 kg (307 pounds), the bike boasts an impressive power-to-weight ratio of 0.2011 HP/kg, allowing for nimble maneuverability and quick responsiveness, perfect for darting through city streets or tackling twisty backroads. The Alpha 250 Naked is not just about engine performance; it's also equipped with a range of features that enhance the riding experience. The double-cradle frame provides a sturdy and balanced foundation, while the telescopic, oil-damped front suspension and swing-arm rear suspension ensure a smooth ride over various terrains. With a seat height of 780 mm, it is accessible for a wide range of riders, and the electric starter adds convenience for daily use. Its eye-catching Pearl Yellow color option ensures that you'll stand out in any crowd, while the 17.03-litre fuel tank offers ample range for longer journeys. **
