**owner** · 2nd May 2009, 11:10

I test rode a GN250 and was not sure if it was running correctly seemed a bit flat like the jetting was wrong
Whats the top speed on these mean machines???

Maybe a genuine 110-120kph -- 130kph under exceptional circumstances (wind or drafting, downhill etc.).

my top speed was about 140 down the methven straight with a backwind...

but 130 is about tops if ya squat down a bit

Yeah, it should do at least 127 on the flat without wind help.

I had a 2005 built one maxing out at 110kmh flat tack, i've had a 1980's built one to 130kmh+

Ive had mine at 130kmh going downhill. Cruises fairly happily at 110 though.

just slightly faster than walking......

the only one i've ridden showed 130k's on the speedo, sounded like it was going to explode...
