    Top speed on the straight flat...80km Bahahahahahahaha!

    Angie, my GN250s top speed on the straight flat is 80km, I think she may need a tune up being 26years olds, I know Im only suspose to go 70km/hr on my learners but I actually feel a little unsafe going that slow. and it seem so pointless lane spitting to the front of the que and then having then all pass me by. LOL

    80kph thats sad. Put the poor thing in for a service / tune.

    I would have thought top speed would be around 120-130.
    Ride it until the wheels fall off...

    Agree completely with the above post.

    Unless you're doing it all wrong and changing gears too early.

    Ask the mechanic to check if you have a dead spark plug. It might just be running on one cylinder.

    This post is funny. The GN250 is a single cylinder bike.

    I remember doing 100kph for the first time on my GN, had to look down to be sure my wheels were still on the road. Wonder what it would feel like going back to one.
