GN250 speed ?

You run out of power with the taller gears tho and the best thing about bikes (for me) is the pick-up. I want to hear a story about gearing a Gnu down so it can only do 80 but will lift the front at 50! A really tall gear would be great for a commute on the salt flats and that about it.

There are no fast 250's when a 600 is a few dollars away.

Try to get an RG150 if you want a budget open road bike. GN250 is a fabulous bike to learn basic skills on and to commute through traffic but I would have serious worries about it's cornering ability and overtaking on the open road.

I did the Southern Cross road rally on a GN250 and Im a big bloke
the bike will cruise at 100kph and return good mileage - you can do anything on a GN250 you just have to sit on it a bit longer than the guy on a faster bike
