Flying quarter...

[Banditbandit]

You can all guess where I'm going with this, but has anyone ever seen a GN250 do a flying quarter?


​Disclaimer, I'm a fuckwitt

No. I didn't have enough time to wait that long ...

I reckon Mossy was pretty accurate with 121km/h or so. On a real good day.
I know a GN can (eventually) see just over 130 indicated on a flat road.
I know a 300cc kitted one will do that with relative ease.
So somewhere around 120k true speed might be it.

But I have 44hp/47nm all below 6,000rpm and other unfaired and light bikes seem to do over 160 real speed with similar HP, so it'll be interesting to see what it'll manage.

Hold my beer and watch this!


Nah, 150 on a GN is piss easy, just got to be awesome like me

i did 155 kph on my xl 250 rf hehe oh that was on the speedo

But there was corning arriving so had to slow yeah

How manky have you managed to make poor Geoff look? Is it really really obvious you've fucked with it?

If not, I'd really like to see somebody who didn't realize you'd swapped motors jump on, and expecting GN performance ( ) give it willy. I imagine it would be a fair surprise if you weren't expecting it

[ducatilover]

Won't look manky at all it's this with polished engine covers and a kick start lever
It still looks much the same, unless you know what GN engine covers look like

Slower than a decent 600cc will do as a standing quarter is my guess.

Did you just say that you would like to see somebody giving Geoff willy?

Probably the slower of both my 600s...
I think it'll be faster over the flying than my ZX6 is over the standing quarter.

Lying on the seat like superman with your left arm tucked into your side and no wing mirrors with the correct gearing ill put a fiver on it doing 100mph

Yes, I'm pretty sure I have. I recall a noob on a Ginny at Dalefield Rd one year, from Paraparaumu if I remember correctly. I'd go looking but I'm on my phone in a motel & saving my wifi for pron.

I hear one just opened up...

Picky one with the right shaft angle and flying quarter might be a very apt description indeed.

An old open cast one might do the trick ... preferably one still full of water ... (keeps everything clean ... eh .. !!!)

Might need to be down hill too then ...

With the 589 in it? If it hits 100mph, I'll buy you a beer, and vice versa? I think it'll be achievable.
Considering my inability to leave a motor standard.
It's going to run a 40mm slide carb instead of 38 and some fairly nonrestrictive pipes that come out of the top of the motor and make noises.

I can call that a legit excuse

Now now, don't be too cheeky
