Your 250 top speed?

**ducatilover** · 27th October 2010, 08:35

It's interesting to see the Hyosung results.... They really forgot to configure the speedos didn't they?

I'm glad I had dyno readings through all the gears to see how accurate mine was.

Well I have ridden a few before and been playing with dirt bikes for the best part of 12 years.

I just wanted to see how well it went...

I love my Hyosung, looks good and goes well enough to keep up with traffic fine. Not quite as quick as the CBR's, but cheap on gas. I so far have gotten 400 k's to $24 of 98 octane. Pretty cheap in my books. Plus it'll sit on 120 k's an hour easily. I'm quite chuffed with it lol.

293 kph on a zxr 250c. That was on 91 octane too.

not

Seriously, why would you want to do something like that? The CBR250s are a shitload quicker than the GT250R. If you really want to go racing then race the CBR or get a bucky.

starting racng at the tracks and shit is where alot more people should start early on I reckon. might teach them more about control handling and the physics that affect motorcycles.

it's the time of year when it's hard not to trip over a learner friendly trackday at manfield, and if you decide you want a race bike, then i'd look at 400s, they're cheaper than 250s (even if the proposed law change goes ahead, the good 1s will be off the list still).
