Why would you ever need more than a 250?

[racefactory]

Correct. Absolutely stock S15 200 SX Six speed. Stock wheels, exhaust, intake, everything. My first drive at a dragstrip (and the Masterton Motorplex is hardly a drag strip) and I ran 14.2. Good driver would have been 13 piece of piss I reckon. My horrible old Senator ran 14.1 and there's a heap of late model Jappas that would waste it.

Once again Mr Race Factory, your enthusiasm is to be commended but your unwaivering conviction in being an authority on everything is making you look a little like a tit.

I'm sorry but you are spouting bull mate. No way in this universe is a standard pos s15 going to do the 400m in 13 without serious mods unless it's dropped off a cliff.

Give me a video and I'll believe you otherwise this one is quite rightly flagged bull.

I realise now on KB you have to be deadly accurate with your statements or you get come down on like a ton of bricks haha!

In saying this what I originally meant was they'd get blitzed by a CBR250 on the road around town and up to the speed limit and that is all. Yes they would have a higher top speed but we could go on all day now couldn't we?

Why would you ever need more than a 250?

1. Because that noise would drive me insane.
2. Because the lack of torque out of corners / up hills would piss me off.
3. Because my knees, hips and back would constantly scream at me about being origamied to fit on something designed for a 155cm oriental (I'm 185cm).
4. Because I don't want to spend all my weekends maintaining something that's been flogged at 235,000 rpm all week.
5. Because there's no way that thing can carry me and the vifferbabe around the countryside without it (and me?) blowing a valve or summat.
6. Because it would piss me off trying to find parts for it.
7. Because I'd get pissed off being harrassed by cops because "I didn't get a speed lock on you, but it sounded like you were speeding". (There's actually a thread on KB about someone who had to fight a ticket like this).
8. Because I already ride something that's a bajillion times better than that screaming toy.

Wrong- CBR250RR's rule...

well they possibly rule the 250 size, but I'll stick with my 647 just the same, you just can't go wrong with a honda v-twin

[mrchips]

I can see the attraction but i prefer the savage flames, rumble & backfire from a thumping great v-twin.

can it do this ?....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQrT_Q0UDWk

That would be an age thing.

Actually, it's probably more of a tit thing

So why are there none entered in either the TT2000 or the Southern Cross Rallies?

Quoted 1/4 mile time for the S15 6spd Turbo is 13.8. I reckon it would take a good driver to replicate this, but it would take an amazing rider to beat one on a 250

And around town? A cyclist could beat a car around town. And to 100km/h? About the same sorry, a good Jap turbo will do it in mid 5's, a fast one in high 4's. Quoted times for the CBR250RR is around 5.3-5.5 seconds.
