What you’re seeing here today is the Hanway Furious 250SC. It was designed as an affordable, entry-level, retro-styled roadster which brags premium features and impressive performance. Right from the get go, it’s clear to see where Hanway drew inspiration for the design of this bike. The Furious 250SC’s fuel tank looks pretty similar to that of the BMW R nineT, while its overall stance, and slightly relaxed boneline give off a Ducati Scrambler-esque feel. Whatever the case, it’s pretty clear that this bike is trying to appeal to a younger, hipper audience, thanks to its retro aesthetic.
On the performance side, it gets a very
approachable 249.2cc single-cylinder engine from none other than fellow Chinese
motorcycle maker CFMoto. Equipped with a four-valve cylinder head, dual
overhead cams, and fuel-injection, this spritely mill churns out an energetic
20 horsepower and 16 ft-lbs of torque. This makes it a rather versatile city
bike capable of around-town duty, as well as the occasional spirited ride
through the twisties.
On the feature front, Hanway has decked
the Furious 250SC with loads of premium kit. It gets an eye-catching gold
anodized inverted forks up front, a full-LED round headlight, and fully digital
instrument cluster. Anti-lock brakes as standard help to inspire confidence for
beginner riders, too.
