Top Speed on a L-legal??

[Trouser]

Hyosung GTR's and GT's will do 160 - 170 kph. Check out the YouTube of a guy on a motorway in Malaysia riding a stock Comet GT250 - he maxes out at 171 kph. Cruising at 110 kph and passing cars on the open road is no problem at all.

They do seem to have wildly optimistic speedos though.

145 gps km/h on cbf250 with 14 tooth front sprocket. Thats about all you'll get with 21hp.

[FROSTY:Me]

Jorjas lil EN125 was able to do an indicated 115 whick is a genuine 105 I think
Her Scorpio 225 does not much more but gets there a shit load easier. (yea different sprocket --shhhh)

I've had my ZXR 250C up to 175km/h before i ran out of room and it was still pulling steadily. Ive got the 1992 model which i think is the year before they restricted them to 39hp? would probably top round 185-190

The Spada has been electronically timed at 172km/h.

My mighty 83 GSX250EZ topped out at (on speedo) 160km/h,wouldn't go any faster.This was lightly modded,with ported head,rejetted carbs and K&N pods.Before that,would only do around 145-150km/h.
Damn I hated that bike,big & heavy,but looked good with the Katana lines to it.

Ok i dont no why no 1 else has seemed to have had there bikes of the clock but my speedo stops at 180 and ive been well past that i would of guessed 190-195kmph, takes along time to get there but does it quickly.

I doubt you'll be going any faster than 180...if that.
At 170ish, my bike is indicating at least 180. And mine is a full alloy framed, 1988 high performance v-twin. Your bike will be heavier than that, with considerably less power due to 250cc restrictions from 1994 or so. So 180k indicated is most likely not even close to 180.

well had my mate in a v5 Sti who was topping out on his speedcut 190kmph and is running a rsm which is very acurate next to me so i dont no, and my bike is 43hp at the crank so what that about 37-8hp at the wheel? ( the older model 1996-97's are 40hp.) and 23nm tourque and 151kg dry weight,

My GN used to go along at 125 - 130 happily.

[edsta]

130 on my DR250 last week. then she got a bit of the shakes. was kinda windy tho

[Capinure]

Gn250 i've got 127-8ish
Gsxr250 175-80 ish

[Choco]

My GN has a max of 120km/hr. Passing CAN get slightly embarrassing...

[EJK]

87km on 250cc bike? I did 120-130km on 150cc Suzuki FXR, sure it was sort of sport bike, still 87 for 250. Hmm

FXR's has a top speed of 150kph. NO MORE!
As always, back wind and down hill lol

[Dodger]

I've seen 165 on my naked Gt250
The speedo (analog) is out at the lower speeds, but seems to be correct once you get up to 110ish.

My 50cc scooter has a speedo that goes up to 90, I've had it past that on a slight downhill

i guess you *could* ride one of these on a L-Plate due to the whole piston wording in the 250cc limit (or have they changed that now?)

Ive done 137 on my hyo (indicated 147 but speedo is off with 10k)

Can do 160 but I aint pushing it.

When I was on my L plate dou I stuck to a max of 109 so that I dont loose my licence.
