Guys, leave these two alone ok? I had a 250 back when I was a teenager, and it would easily do 240km/h. Funny thing was though, even though I no longer had the bike as I got older it seemed to be slower. You know, late teens and it was now only really about 210. Then it was 210 'indicated'. Then as I got even older it turned out it was only 180. Weird man, 'cos when I was a teenager it was the fastest bike on the road. I also knew everything there was to know, and anyone older than me had no idea about how good a HIGH-PERFORMANCE 250 performed, what with their experiences based around big slow bikes.
Now I'm 35, I own a 160hp GSXR1000 that would be lucky to probably hit a genuine 290km/h. Man if I had owned that when I was a teenager it would've been a true 480km/h bike. Honest. I'll race ya to prove it.

Well when I was 18, I had a Kawasaki GPZ1100. It was one of the fastest things out there at the time.
I'm VERY lucky to still be alive.

I know what you mean. I had a GSXR750 when I was 20, wasn't cheap either. It cost me an arm.

Aye. And as nasty and bad as that is mate...guess it could've cost you more.

Eggs-fucking-actly. I'm one of the lucky ones, I made it out of being a teenager despite thinking I was the next Kevin Schwantz or Peter Brock.

I should have just stayed out of this thread... haha oh well.

That statement humbled me. Brought back all those memories of the stupid things I got away with. Two things pulled me into line, a biker / petrol head Dad who was not shy in telling me what I was & who I could never keep up with & the cost of fixing my bike to get too work, again..
Thinking about it, my worst offs were trying to keep up with the old man. FS, it was his fault all the time, I knew I was right

mad thou rider
Its measured in PS, not HP, which is a slightly different measurement I think, besides the factory 45hp was at the flywheel i think.
Top speed of 208km/hr. a very good effort for a modded 250, even with all the mods youve done to it.
Still a long way off lil-vulky's claims of 250. and of course factor in a rider and wind etc in the real world, and it drops a tad more, still a very quick 250 though.
Ad for only taking it to 17000rpm, wont really affect it much, thats about where it will be making the most power, e.g. you might make 25HP @ 15000rpm, then 32HP @17000rpm, and at 18500rpm youre back down to 30HP . . .
Your HP will drop after peak, and youll reach peak before 'redline', so without doing a fuck ton of internals, cams, hi comp pistons porting etc etc, it doesnt matter how high it revs anyway.
Like I said though, still a very good effort westy, a bike you can be proud of!!!
