On looking through some of my dads old performance bike magazines from the 90's i came across a test between yamaha's fzr250 and suzuki's gsxr250,the test has performance figures(dyno,1/4 mile,top speed etc),opinions on handling etc.etc

So since i was really bored i thought i'd share some of the info with the 4cyl T 250 riders,here goes....

I also have a bit of info on katana 250's,gpx-zzr250's etc if anyone wants to know anything just ask. ]]> revlikeshit https://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/entry.php/310-revlikeshit-s-Blog https://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/entry.php/238-revlikeshit-s-Blog Mon, 13 Aug 2007 08:15:29 GMT So, i own a 2000 model rgv150, in my opinion an underated bike which many people pass off as being slow and crap compared with fxr's, rg150's,kr150's etc,but is it so???
as the site link below may tell you and i am going to tell you- suzuki rgv150-26.5hp @9500rpm-the site is on average is 3hp high when compared with magazine rwhp dyno tests, so rear wheel power is probably around 23rwhp.

site link- http://www.motorbikes.be/en/Suzuki/1999/RGV%20150%20Megatone/


it weighs around 105kg dry(which is 20kgs lighter than fxr's, rg's etc)
So on paper it looks resonable in terms of performance in comparison to its compitition.

I'd just like to know what other peoples opinions are on what it would be like against say an fxr,rg etc and maybe what sorta 0-100kmh time it has???? ]]> merv https://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/entry.php/238-revlikeshit-s-Blog
