Hey, 250learna, I saw your bike at Pak'n'Save yesterday! I recognized it from the lack of rear fairings. You work there?

Another question: is there a particular year with these bikes where the horsepower decreased? I've read that at some point the cbr250's dropped down in power due to regulations in japan, im guessing that happened with zxr250's?
Reason being Im on the lookout for somthing, though I wish to buy as new and low k's as possible, unless theres a certain period in which the power turns to shite...

93 onwards I think they dropped the crank power from 45hp to 40hp due to restrictions in japan - IIRC

I thaught 94... might be 93 though. They stopped making them soon after that though.

Would be nice to see a zx6r lookalike 250

im going for distance

250 next time, mite have to keep the bike upright(sit on it) when filling up tho

the BP gods will strike me down and set my groin on fire

Yeah I just filled her up upright... it does fit a little more in than usual but it might have been because of the higher revs and more acceleration that I have been doing lately. Who knows.
By the way, how big is our reserve.. 2L or just 1L? If I calculate it out properly I should be able to get 290-300kms exactly from a tank including reserve

i never reached reserve on my bike, not that game. I fill up when it gets into 200s, coz knowing my luck it would stop id put it on reserve and it would not want to start...

Bloody hell - your bike will be a lot quicker if you lose the trailer carrying your spare fuel tank
