Wanna race?
Lets see if your bike is as many times faster and fun as it cost.![]()
Yes it does when it's in peak condition.![]()
I would be interested to see first hand the older IL4 vs the new // twin. If memory serves me correctly i believe the older IL4 have approx 34-36hp?? Where as these new 250R (aka GPX in disguise) now put out 31hp.
As for handling, mine handles well but i have nothing to compare it to seeing as its my first bike![]()
The old IL4 (ZXR250) will smoke our parallel twins.![]()
That they should! The ZXR revs out to 18-19000rpm so more go per gear unless the ratio is significantly altered.
In the end, straight line speed isnt as fun as the twisties and im sure both these bikes will perform very well with little difference between the 2?
i wish they could make those bikes again..
i'd love an 08 CRB250 *drool* *wishes they existed*
is <3 supposed to be a heart or an ass hat?
So do I!! I was considering getting an older ZXR CBR just cos of the high revs they pulled! Now that i have something that revs out to 13 (havnt taken it there yet, being kind until first service) after onlt being in cars that push for 7 its an amazing feeling AND having all that between your legs!! No wonder girls get jealous lol
who needs new??
My 250 is a 27 year old 2smoker and she does a measly 160kph with 35HP and thats bog standard... prob do more if she had a fairing. All for $2K, and yep she is still road legal, and she sure is FUN to ride!
only 31hp... going backwards really

I couldnt turn down the feeling of owning a new bike and having the piece of mind with a 2year unlimited km warranty!! Just too good haha
31hp is because of the power restrictions brought in a few years ago over in japan, hence the whole reason they no longer make the IL4 i believe....
180kmph is the top speed of the new 250R, will let you know one day im sure.....
cheers DD
