Get a ZXR250...

But if you want a good high speed upgrade... try an Aprilla

If your itching for more power/speed... try a 2 stoke (Aprilla's are the best I hear) or a Honda NSR 250...

The ZXR's are by far the best for a 4 stroke (In my opinion)... and they hold thier value well (Unless you crash it lol).

Or you could brake the law and buy a 600 anyway and just hope you don't get caught....

mmm 250 2 strokes sound ike a lot of hassle to be honest
nah i think ill stick with a 250 for a year

if you want more (legal) power then you could get a 2 stroke 250 (NSR, RGV). If its unrestricted itll have the performance of a 600cc 4 stroke anyway...

but yeah I dont imagine you would get much for the GPZ. most CBR's are over priced (but awesome bikes), ZXR's can be picked up for 3-4k which is alright.

What's wrong with the GPX for the next year or so?? They are fine little bikes. If you want faster, then Spada or any of the 4cyls. But in real terms they are not not much quicker. Stay with what you got.
Don't believe me? Go to the Taupo trackday 5.11 and see what Speights_bud does with his GPX.

Well perhaps, but I just moved from zzr250 (2 cylinder) to a cbr250r (inline 4). there is quite a lot of difference in power between these two and I heard that the gpx250 is about the same power as the zzr... depends on how long you have left to go. I personally decided that 10 months is just too long.
