Max speed on your bike?

North of 200 gets a bit breezy on a naked bike.

You must have taken it to that road in south africa where they test the veyron. 60km with no turns?
I remember 160 on my 250 and it felt shady as fuck

What was your 250? Unless it was a 2 smoker, the only other 250 that would keep a ZXR250 is the CBR250RR.

I have had an RS125 Aprilia around the 180 mark so I could see a 250 2smoke nudging 200

An RS250 would crack 200kph I would have thought.

104-109 depending on time of year.

Forgot to add I weigh as much as the bike almost lol ... 100kg ... on a bike that weighs about the same ... good effort

I've had my 600 SRAD up to 250kmh (indicated). I haven't tried again since Roger fixed the carbs up though, but it goes faster now. Speedo over reads by 10% according to GPS since I've gone -1 on the front sprocket.

An interesting experiment would be to see if all speedo's were made to say only read up to 120kph if many people would still feel the need to see how high (kph) they can go. I would hazard a guess that many people's ego's center around being able to say I have gone 'X' fast. Take away the measuring stick and I would guess many people would lose interest in seeing how fast they can go with nothing to gauge it by.

Interesting idea.

This was done for a while in the USA in the 1970s. It was spectacularly unsuccessful and abandoned.

Indicated 270 at Pukekohe on the 750 but I've always been an early braker...

Premature braking

Bout 104 but know it'll do 285+.any quicker I'd get in trouble.

Really? Do you recall why it was unsuccessful?

Took the sevenfiddy for a ride to see how fast it can go. Up to 105 before I new it! Luckily the bus full of orphans and nuns didn't get sucked into my wake and explode. I'll have to wait for the adrenalin to subside before I test the eleven.
