Fastest 250?

**MidnightMike** · 19th March 2006, 20:55

Poo's is right.

But I took a Bandit 250 for a ride today.
( My 3rd ride on a 250

)

And that thing is mental.
I found a hill (downward) and twisted the throttle

* Cue massive smile going to holding on like shit and trying to find the brake :spudwow: (which i eventually managed to do thank god)

Mental machines, but cool.

(something about needing higher gearing to keep it below some sort of top gear ride past for a noise test)
Second place is a toss up between 2 bikes, the Suzy RGV and the Aprillia RS, both push a shade over 200kmph flat out standard (and of course share the same suzuki motor). The NSR was more restricted while still being a phenominal bike (single sided swingarm, so sexy). The TZR where also great but never pushed the top speed into the 200's.

Son has had 209 locked on his Aprilia computer with more to go!

They will hit 200 (indicated) that's about a couple of cm's past the 180 mark on the speedo and only do about 15.5-16krpm at that speed. So you don't need to completely thrash them either, unlike a two stroke. But an Aprilla should be faster in terms of both acceleration and top end.

Meh just because you lack the skills for riding at over the posted speed limit I stuck with you in coro twistes with easy p/t you werent going full tit neither was I though as I proved when a car came into my lane and I moved out of its way. Still you mangaed not to write off your bike yet, which im surprised you havent your time will come grasshopper as your front tyre aint got much left to give.

Gotta say, I used to own a Suzi RG250 Walter Wolf and that sucker was FAST!!! If ya never seen one here's a link http://www.suzukicycles.org/RG-series/RG250-Gamma.shtml and go to the bottom of the page.

It was a freakin beast but really prone to breakdown. Was told by original importer the Walter Wolf was a special edition to commemorate his racing victories. Built pretty special for an 80's bike too.

It tried to kill me one too many times so graduated onto a VFR750, much more useable bike.

aprillia rs250 mmmmm corner speed king! and they have lots of power. and they look sexy.

**N4CR** · 19th March 2006, 21:30

YEAH AY TEX, WHEN I PASSED THAT AMBO A BIT AFTERWARDS I DID A NICE TRIPOD ON THE STUPID BIG EXHAUST WHICH WAS FUN....

Fuck hurry up and get another 250 for shits and giggles like old times man! I might end up keeping mine if it looks sexy enough and just take fairings off it.

We can recreate zxr riderz ov kreig or something.

Yer but I wouldnt own a pussy zxr and cbrs are too expensive fucking 250cc market is fucked. $6.5k for a cbr250rr 1992 from a shop. Thats a thrid of a k6 600 and the k6 is more than ten times the bike.

**ducatilover** · 20th March 2006, 10:38

cbrs would be good if they had more power

turbo anyone?

**imdying** · 20th March 2006, 10:45

Ha, CBRs would be good if they didn't weigh as much as an R6... They're ok for learner bikes, and the 19000rpm redline is soo cool to hammer, but other than that they've got bugger all going for them. It's a damn shame they don't make an 06 CBR250 weighing < 130kgs, 70bhp or some such shite

**ducatilover** · 20th March 2006, 10:50

nah if you want that power and weight get an rs250

**imdying** · 20th March 2006, 11:34

Now me personally, I'd agree with ya, but plenty of people are like 'boo hoo it's a two stroke and they're unreliable'. Which of course it tripe, they just don't take abuse like slow old four strokes
