Journeys of a 250

[frogfeaturesFZR]

Karagahake Gorge is between Paeroa and Waihi. Now only 80 k speed limit but some real nice twisties.

Do the GSXR 250's have plenty of go because I've heard that against CBR's and ZXR's there a bit slugish ??

My mate has a gsxr and he keeps up no worries under acceleration...although he does weigh 20 kilos less than me!!!Not sure about top speed though.

Well done Jas. Try the Karanghake (?) gorge some time. Great ride

Yea I did that ride today. Thats the gorge before Waihi isnt it.

Bought a 04 gsx250 from te puke a little south of Tauranga and rode it up through the gorge through Paeroa up to Auck.Was a good ride.Heaps of other bikers to tag along with.

Yeah i think judging by the bike meeky mouse rides you mean the GSX 250's not the gsxr's theres a big difference.

Yes the GSX features roughly 15hp less than its 4cyl friends

Hey there

Well done on getting out there, regardless of the cc rating of your bike

I have ridden my ole 250 around East Cape, Coromandel, Wairarapa and just about everywhere in between and I still enjoy it
Its not the fastest bike, but I have more fun than some of the others (especially on gravel )

Next year we are taking our 250's around NZ
Looking forward to it too

Again well done and enjoy
