OSSA 250 was a
motorcycle tourism model manufactured by OSSA between 1969 and 1985 . Throughout
its commercial life several versions have been manufactured, all of them with
the following general characteristics: single-cylinder 244 cc air-cooled
two-stroke engine, double-sided rack and conventional front and telescopic rear
shock absorbers.
The 250 engine was the latest evolution initially designed by the Italian
engineer Sandro Colombo, a 160 cc motor and four-speed switch that OSSA had
built on all its motorcycles since 1963 and which has been in production -with
successive upgrades and cylinder capacity-up to the factory closure. [1] One of
the most memorable versions of OSSA 250 is the 250 Tourism (or 250T) of 1975 ,
[2] as well as its good commercial reception, it has had a strong media
repercussion as the base of the Cup OSSA , a trophy of promotion for new riders
organized in 1976 and 1977 with great success.
