Your 250 top speed?

[nzspokes]

My CBR250R (2012) topped out at 140Km/h @8000RPM. Won't go any faster and it took a LOT of work to get there.

My 86 CBX250rs could do 140.1..... Pretty much the same motor....

Most RGV250's killed their rider after they passed 200kph........Much like most 300ZX would kill their drivers when they exceeded 200kph.

Them flounders...err 300ZXs were certainly and interesting mess to pilot at higher speeds, fucking useless on bumpy roads (up to '96, facelift ones actually work well) I've had a few shit-yer-pants moments over mid corner bumps in a few crap suspensions and spastic HICAS

HICAS was great on the Cefiro when it worked.........but when it didn't it was a death trap. But yeah how the fuck did Steve Millen get a 300ZX to break 200kph and not die???

But I guess its like the Skylines. People hated the new look G-35 series skyline before the GTR35 came out. "It's a V6 and not turbo.....must be shit". Where as I saw they had fixed all the bullshit the R34 had.....it was fucken lovely to drive.

Anywho back to topic. Anyone know the top speed of VT250 (the early 80's one not the spada)? When I was a youngin I never topped one out but would get to 140 easy.

You mean inline 4? There was never a square 4 CBR.

He means the cylinders were over square, as in bore>stroke.

I wasn't actually aware they were over square.

Had a xl185s that could do 110 indicated.

170 k's on my FZR. It may have gone quicker, I doubt it'd get to 200. I4 250's are fun and rev high but are no real speed demons.

Got my car to 237 Km/h once about 8 years ago. That was absolutely everything - almost on the limiter in 5th gear, took ages once it got to about 180. Factory claimed 206 km/h. Not keen for that anymore not with over 300,000 kms.

I swear I remember getting my Ninja EX250 to approx 160kph. By comparison I could barely get my VTR250 to 140kph, but perhaps that's due to no fairing. Plus I'm not as light as some..
