    Yep I can verify that, they are a dark blue.
    I went up to J'ville yesterday and there was a dumbfuck on a blue GN250 pulled out from in front of the bakery - just about wiped out a couple of kids crossing then takes off down the main road toward the motorway. Just before the underpass he cuts across in fronty a truck to head up that road beside the shell station. I just thought "f*ck me!"
    Maybe it's just GN riders?

    I reckon it'll be newbie riders. The GN's are great value for money and I'd think newbies latch onto them for that very reason...

    2. I can't think of any blue GN250s. Maybe this is the Ghost Rider edition GN, with nitrous and turbo. Ahhh, THAT'S how it could do 100km/h!
    I hated it so I used to ring its neck out without worrying about what was going to happen to the motor. Its top speed and remember this was an older quite worn out GN was 115kph. So I'd be surprised if a newer one could not go faster than that. Also the gearing was quite low and changing the sproket setup could help with an increased top speed. Once I got my next bike (RZ350LC) I had great delight in killing my GN250 and promised myself that I'd never own one again.
    Those who insist on perfect safety, don't have the balls to live in the real world.

    My GN would go to 130 (on the speedo) in top gear down hill with a tail wind, my god did she get the speed wobbles bad though!.....

    Oh yeah, Eurynomes who is/was a Wgtn memeber of KB had a blue GN, it had reddy/pink outlines...

    don't spoil the illusion - I was hoping there was a Ghost Rider GN250...

    Still question the 100km/h though

    Fair call I suppose. Cheap commuters and all that but I just wish they'd actually learn to ride instead just steering and hanging on.
