[surfchick]

[Sutage]

I got bike today at like 3.25 rode it around the block once then i had to go to work at 4. Got home at 8 rode around west auckland (huia road i think) for ike 15-20 mins, i think having rode a scooter really helped as i had no problem at all. Im just not great at low gear stuff and knowing when to change down to 2/1 etc. but comes with experience.

Dont think ill make the ride on Sat

Oh, dont see why you say the SR250 cant go up hills, where i live and rode is made of hills, it had no problems at all, must be your bike, or maybe you huh champ? :D

Damn that is slow gamgee ;p

I get 140+ up the kilmog ;p in 4th gear

I have no experience of the SR250, but it's spec on paper suggests it should be able to hold 100 up most hills.

Probably need to go down to top minus 1 though. Remember on a 250 you don't have the torque of a big bike, So you need to keep the revs up and change down lots

The SRX250 (admittedly, more powerful motor) will hold 120+ kph up pretty much any hill - steepness determines the gear .

What does hit it though is that hills are often windy and if you have to slow down for a tight bend it doesn't have the grunt to blast back up to 100 in the short straight before the next bend.

But on a straight hill the SR250 should be able to hold 100 I would have thought. Buzzing a bit though but.

[Sutage]

One more point for the SR250

Came off today on gravel, not going overly fast but ended up in a bit of a tangle, SR250 is fine, no problems at all, no scratches, indicators didnt come off

no it aint the fastest bike on the road, but for a learner its pretty damn good

[gamgee]

jeeez how did you manage to fall off, was it wet?
also in practical experience, with my sr250 only 25000k's on it and it had a rebuild done on it recently, it drops down to about 90 on hills, unless you drop in behind a truck or something to break the wind then i can usually hold 100 pretty easily, and i'm a skinny little shit to so no prob's there

[Sutage]

Nah it was dark, didnt see and wasnt expecting the gravel, came off nicely:D
