GN250 for a first bike?

[Choco]

Yep! Got 130 with someone elses speedo in down hill before

Shit! You're getting close! let me know when you plan to go all out so i can come and watch you do it :P

[BANZAI]

Exactly that one.

EDIT: Actually, no. Some perverted wankstrain has fitted a *battery* to that one. What sort of diseased mind would fit a battery to a Bantam.

What does battery do to a Bantam?

[Ixion]

Do you realise how much a battery weighs? And how much horsepower it takes to generate the current to charge one. All that drag on the magneto flywheel.

WRONG!!!
132Km/Hr is the world record (on the flat, no wind, recorded from someone elses speedo) held by me

Banzai's tricking his GN out to beat it

I went on a ride around Northland last weekend (over 200 bikes mostly Harleys) for the White Ribbon Ride following a GN a large part of the way. It was out performing and handling many of the Harleys and giving my FZ250 a run for its money. We were riding around 120 with bursts to 130+. The GN must have been screaming but did very well for 380km round Northland after riding up from New Plymouth and having to go back. As for handling, it seemed to go round corners in the dry like it was on rails. I wanted one but couldn't get one when I first got my licence. I think they are legendary!

Congratulations! you are the new record holder of the GN250 land speed record (nz)

Now you need to legitimately overtake a CBR600RR

Current achievements:
Overall GN250 LSR - Banzai - 139km/hr
Stock GN250 LSR - Choco - 132 km/hr
Suzuki's top speed for the GN250 - 120km/hr

Ahaha I need skill of you and twinkle conbined to do that!!! lol

[Choco]

Um is that figure from Suzuki catalogue??

Something like that, i remember reading it somewhere

[davebullet]

How many revs is the GN250 pulling at 139k/hr and what is its redline?

[madbikeboy]

A safe guess is 500 RPM less than it was doing...

[BANZAI]

I think it was about 7500? Redzone is from 8500 but rev just wont go anymore

At around 7k it does around 125-130 so should be right.

[Badjelly]

People seem to be assuming that the numbers displayed on the rev counter and the speedo bear some resemblance to reality. This is not a wise assumption.

[archie-no2]

The gn250 is a great bike and they will keep on going they also hold there price if you buy one it shouldnt loose much money if your luckly you might even make some.
