Hi just want to ask if any one knows out of intrest which is faster
at CBR250rr or a aprilla 250 or a ducati 250A Two stroke of equal capacity generaly produces more power than a four stroke so I'd put my money on the Aprillia

[Qkchk]

Dont think Ducati do a 250. Think their smallest is a 600cc. The Aprillia is the fastest 250 money can buy. By FAR. As Zrxer mentioned a 2-stroke (which is the Aprillia) will be far superior on power/speed than a 4-stroke (CBR/FZR/ZXR/GSXR 250) only prob is 2-strokes dont last as long/cost more to run/unreliable compared to the 4-strokes.

[djleigh]

ok cool and with the 2 stroke 250 aprilla out of the question whats the quickest 250 4 stroke

Ducati 250s? Not been one in awhile.

This one (http://www.netbikes.com.au/roadtests/249-Ducati.htm) and the Mach 2 (Was there a 3?) are a highly pleasant looking little bike.

APRILIA by far man?

[kickingzebra]

ducati have an ss400, but it looks tiny...
Aprilia RS 250 is quickest (and best handling) of that bunch
I know someone who has a brand new one they are selling for 13,000 if you're interested...
2005, 800 kms on it, and it is MINT!! PM me if you want to know more...

[bugjuice]

best 250 imho is the CBR250, closely followed by the ZXR250, then the gsxr and the rest..
The aprilia would be the fastest out of the 250s, cos it's a 2 stroke, but it'd also be the most costly one, cos they aren't cheap bikes. The easier 250 2 strokes would be the RGV and the other one (can't remember the name), cos they're more common, and cheaper to run. But they're f'in quick

Well, in my personal experience, the CBR is yet to be beaten. But I haven't raced many other 250's. The bikes are all close enough that it is pretty much down to rider skill. Seems like you've already got the CBR, so I would be happy with that. Check out the Club 250 forum (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=36).

i agree.

haven't seen a ducati 250 for a long time,
the modern bikes would be quicker by lots,
but if you owned a ducati 250 you wouldn't be too concerned with its performance vs new stuff. they are classic.

[justsomeguy]

The Aprilla is the fastest -

The CBR is the best pick of them all, unless you have an exceptionally mint ZXR.

The CBR will do 190kmph all day every day provided you look after it - as you must know since you own one.

[djleigh]

yeah got a CBR very happy with it just wanted to know about others

only on closed private roads (that are straight and flat) aye JSG? :)

Yes of course, a few corners don't hurt either. :blah:


Which reminds me it's been a while since I did the Coro Loop :sunny:

Every RR I have raced in a straight line (5+) has been gained upon in varying amounts by my ZXR 250 C model.. it has another 15% more torque on paper (and lower weight..) anyway, other riders comparing both bikes have noted it has slightly better pick up also. It goes off the clock at 190 indicated in real life, dyno'd to 204 (dyno speed). Real speeds are probably around 180kmh max for both the zxr and the cbr.

Speed wise on the track you won't really notice a difference but I feel the zxr has the slightly better suspension setup and handles a tad better (USD fully adjustable forks for your riding style etc). Reliability wise the CBR is definately tops and i'd highly reccomend it over a ZXR if you want to do really high km's and not touch a thing.
Just watch the friggen low pegs on the cbr, easy to feel like the man when you scrape them, ZXR's are a little higher but not much more out of the way either, get some rearsets if you want to do racing. Texmo alerted me to a manufacturer of rearsets for the zx2r's that i'll be following up on.

Looks wise most people prefer the zx2r, especially mine :lol:

edit: Coerce makes rearsets for the zx2r, not sure about cbr but they should be there. Ebay yeilds nothing apart from $350US zx4r ones which should fit though.

The one with the best rider. :ride:

[Sniper]

Why? How fast do you want to get to the speed limit?

[FROSTY]

taking the aprillia out of the picture I think a god rider on any of the production 250 4's will be the fastest on the day

A GOD rider would be faster on a pushbike. :laugh:
