3 lengths actually, the really short ones are used for buggies/trikes, the shorter of the two (9.5 inch) can accommodate up to a 12" wheel with a low profile tire/ 10 inch high profile is "the usual", the longest one will do a 13" wheel with a high profile tire/14" with a low profile tire.

The "preferred" one for swaps is the long case, though if you wanted stealth, the shorter one will fit better where a 50cc used to be.

if you have access to welding and cutting tools, you can make almost anything fit..
The 250 is a water cooled vertical motor. You WILL lose any under seat storage and you will have to hang a rad and plumbing somewhere. At some point the exercise becomes pointless, though this might be more to your liking:
