In a straight line perhaps, but at cornering etc? Doubt it.

There's a lot to be said for superior brakes, suspension, and frame rigidity. Also the rear wheel is wide enough to get a decent tyre on it, (compared to what ya can fit on an RG anyway).

I wanna know how one would go, someone give it a whirl dammit.

its just a pro stock hyo, less the headlights, taillights, indicates and some plastic here and there to bring the weight down. est weight removed 15kg ill post picks when the repairs and mods to the front fairings are done (had to fill in the hole left behind by the headlight).

pro stock? What do you mean by this?

Also where is the 15kg disappearing from if you are only removing lights and 'some plastic'?

Like AJ has said, get your licence and start racing with VMCC in 250 streetstock.

Mine isn't allowed. You will soon see why.

Let him be with his class entry. But the -15kg thing is only an estimate....I'd go with 5kg max

I would expect an rg to be a good race with a hyo. But older gpx, vt250f2 and spadas are smaller, gruntier [still shit...] and the hyo doesn't handle that well. I see jetting and slides can be changed. A vt250f2 makes around 33hp at the wheel stock yet a hyo does that at the crank. Silly class if you ask me.

In a straight line an RG and hyo are very similar, the hyo being a bit easier to get the best speed from.

My old GSX250 was also similar but had a bit better legs up top BUT to almost the same top speed. (just under the ton sandard)

The cornering of both are limited by GROUND CLEARANCE so 250s twins being heavier isn't really the deciding factor.

This opinion is based on actual first hand, real world experiance.

However I don't know about the spadas etc...

to be honest people i have no idea what bike would be faster.....

hahahahhaha

i just thought i would throw this in to see how deep the discussion would be for the pros and cons of this class...

cause i have noticed that, if you say something like i did, a lot of people will FINALLY stand up and say why they think it is a good idea OR not...

so why don't you get your bike out there and RACE it!!!!

come join us at the vic rounds i will personally take an interest in your race!!!

Damn. Can't enter a CB250N Superdream then. They've got really impressive technology for an 80s bike; no matter what you do, even if you're on a wet road in diesel you can't get the rear wheel to light up.

the headlight weighs around 5kgs on its own plus i removed around 4-5kgs of poly prop plastic from the tail lost 5kgs with the new carbon exhaust so easly around 15kgs

and all ive read from most of the posts is.."not bothered", "got no balls" and "im to fat and i spend all my time online and dont actualy have a bike"
as for the guy/girls that are keen send me a pm, the race class is still in descussion but if there are enough people wanting to do it things will go faster.

Fuck those hyosung bits are heavy!

Seriously though, 5KG headlight is ridiculous.

**renegade master** · 30th June 2009, 12:49

So it didnt work out with the hyosung gp then?

**Ooky** · 30th June 2009, 16:08

the RS is a 250 twin! its not a 2 stroke honest just needs a new ring set so is burning oil at the moment

**Hiflyer** · 30th June 2009, 17:18

the stock can weighs esaily 6-7 kgs and plastics are quite heavy for the hyosung, dunno bowt 5 kgs for the headlight though. I know when I took all the fairings ogg mine it was noticeably lighter. maybe a good 3kgs as well?
