250 four lap times of Puke

[vtec]

Weeell. I'm feeling kinda cocky today. I just had my first race meeting, and I out did my expectations, by posting quite a few laps of Puke in the 1.15 bracket.

Just wondering whats the fastest lap times all you 250 fourstroke guys do, and I'm also interested in the twostrokers aswell.

1:20 flat on a RG150. Havnt heard quicker times on a 250 four stroke, 250 two strokes i have seen doing 1:10s and 1:09s and GP250 bikes doing 1:01's...

Very impressive Vtec - it was nice seeing the proud grins on your parents faces and meeting you today.

Depending on the weather I may be out there next weekend. Will be curious to see what I can do.

Gareth_D did 1:28 on a ZXR250 - Gareth's been riding for about 3+ years, you 4+, me just over one year. So I'll probably do it in 3 minutes.

Well that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it and not to forget I'm the worlds slowest Indian too.


Any tips about the track? The condition - bumps on any of the corners, etc? Those ripples on Jennian still there? Is the hairpin very slippery? I heard some KB'er lost it there and another friend of mine "almost died" when the front of her GP bike started sliding on the uphill left turning corner just coming on to the front straight.

Hmm tips about the track... let me think. There's really too much to point out, bumps everywhere have the bike bouncing all over the show. The best way to figure this stuff out, is to start by riding it slow, and then picking it up, until you know the corners, surface, braking points really well. Once you know the track, following someone else around the circuit will help you pick the better lines. Anyways, twosmoker is as good as anyone on this circuit, posting 1:07's on a stock ZXR400. Which seems pretty crazy. If you want professional advice he's the man to ask.

You were doing bloody well out there. First couple of races you were tussling with 140 (Quasievil, or Bret) at the back, but going well.

Last race it was almost as if you had a lassoo around the person in front of you You hauled in two riders ahead of you I think.

For a standard 250 that you ride as a regular bike as well... awesome stuff.

[vtec]

Thanks for that Gremlin were you racing? Which one were you?

I hope you took some pics of that green beauty and that blue beauty parked in the pits where they belong - at a racetrack

Looked awesome

That is mighty impressive for a 250cc Four Stroke.

What is the topend of CBR250's? I've been told close to 200kmp/h however that'd be crazy considering an SV650 or GT650 doesn't do much more than 200kmp/h.

Don't know what the "actual" speed is. But the speedometer wand will go well past the 180kmph mark, indicating a speed of about 200kmph at between 16-17k rpm.

The bike will accelerate well till about 140kmph, a slight twist more and you'll see 170. Get into a full racing crouch, be steady and give it another twist and you see an indicated 200

[SwanTiger]

Wow, that makes the Hyosung look bad, it stops pulling at 130 - 140 kmp/h and on a decent sized decline will do 160 kmp/h.

The 6th gear on a CBR must make the difference.

I think someone posted that Gareth did 1:20's or there abouts on his ZXR250, is that correct?

actually I didn't... being my first marshalling experience and first real time at a racetrack, I had no idea how busy I would be.

Next time tho, the camera is a must, but I'll try to keep the blue jumped up bicycle out of the shot.

edit: swanny, ask keystone about gareth's zxr, she was better

[FROSTY:Me]

dude--1.15 is pretty good going.
Keep in mind though guys -He was in a RACE with bales and marshals and ambos there.
Pukie is a pretty unforgiving place to stuff up on -keep that in mind if you're thinking of chasing 1.15

[Motoracer]

Fuck, that's impressive eh!! The fastest I had heard previous to this was a 1.17... 1.15 is fukin flying...

If you want, you can always lend it to TwoSmoker and see what time he does on it... Then you'll know how fast the bike will go.

you have to be shitting me! are the hyobags that crap?
fuck mate, my vt250 will pull 160k on the flat and thats a naked bike. i hope yours isnt the faired version.... and its only a 5speed? bloody hell.... whats wrong with a common 6 speed?
