Your 250 top speed?

**_john_** · 22nd June 2010, 14:53

Thought this could be an interesting thread to compare 250's.

What does your 250 cap out at?

To make it all relative, post specs as below - I have done an example.

Make: Hyosung
Model: GT250 ( Up right riding position)
Year: 2010
Power: 28.5 ( quoted standard)
Modifications: Screaming Demond muffler
Engine: 250 V twin
Bike weight: 153kg ( dry )
Your height: 187cm
Your weight: 75 kg
Highest speed you have reached: 160kph

Remember this all happened on closed roads.

I've had my little baby RGV wound out to 155. She wouldn't give much more after that :P
I was actually pleasantly surprised seeing its only a 150..

my 09 ninja has been upto 160 maxed out in 6th so far, on the flat. it wopuldnt go past 140 when the speedo still read under 2000kms.
now its almost at 4000, so the engine is wearing in nicely.

Oh good, it's this thread again.

I had a cb100 (many years ago) that did 140km/hr flat out, and it got there pretty fast too.

admittedly it was powered by a xr200 motor with gearing and internal mods. Would beat just about anything from 0-100.

Banged off the limiter with a slight hill decline. She really needs to see a track some day.

Unreal this thread has active content !

better late than never...

I've had my 1988 NSR250 off the clock a number of times clock ends at 190 and the needle was some way past that.. I'm guessing about 210km/h.

Had a mate on a gsxr400 with me on one run and i got tapped out before him but he had maybe 2km/h more top end... picking if i dropped a tooth on the rear
I would have had em beat

Very stable at that speed and no carbon was left on the pistons

Can't understand why people like 4 stroke 250's..... to slow

LOL.....

Wait thats all you can buy now... what a shame it is... glad I had my fun when I did.
