    i had it at 150 no where near redlining it strait out of the box compleatly standard. dont forget they weigh practly nothing and im only 45kg so i dont make a huge diffrenc either. it should do close to 200 atlest 180 hopefully.

    I had trouble pushing my cbr beyond 180...and that was on a 2km straight..with a modded airbox, jets & needles...after that it just ran out of puff....just need more road most likely but its not worth counting as useful speed...

    GPX is a relatively heavy bastard -- 145-odd-kg dry. Well it's not as heavy as the GSX, but still far too heavy a bike for me to own. If you want it to go faster, I'd start by ditching the heavy shit. You don't really need half of those fairings, so get rid of the side fairings and bottom fairing (you'll only scratch them when you forget to put the sidestand down ). Exhaust system is a good idea -- won't give you much extra horsepower, if any, but I'd be willing to bet the stock system is monstrously heavy, so get a nice light full system.

    Chuck pillion pegs out. You're a learner ffs, and they'll only slow you down

    This probably won't help your top speed overly, but will improve acceleration -- and best of all, improve cornering. Going fast in a straight line is boring

    Sure would be!! I guess it's something to aim for....better to just stick with a standard 250 than waste precious $$$ you could be putting toward a larger bike when you get your full though.

    145 kg is nothing i dont even think theyr that heavy maby you just need to grow some muscles. the fairings would make it more areodynamic thus making it easyer to go faster plus bikes without fairings diserve to be parked in the middle of the road and left there. now dont forget this is a new gpx performance has improved a fuck load from the older models il get it to 200 just watch me. lol.

    nothing untill it's starts to fall over on ya...then you'd be in trouble! fairings are over-rated...and damn!! that's not a cool idea I love my zr...and that's naked! + It'd leave your gpx 4 dust :P muahaha...

    i've been around this forum for a while that's all.


    Anywho run the engine in properly and you'll get better pace. You might want to mess with the gearing when it's done. Drop a tooth on the front.. you'll loose some of your top end speed but you'll get heaps more drive out of the corners.

    More go-fast bits won't actually get you a higher top speed - you're still limited by the gearing and rev limiter in top...

    It will however make you get to that speed faster.

    But if the bike can't hit the redline in top gear without them in the 1st place...

    I'm sorry in advance, but this thread just screams for attention of the wrong kind.

    HARSH!!!!! If someone accused me of being fat I'd post a pic to prove them wrong too, And she did ask a seriosus question, followed by 10 pages of discussion before posting a pic and she's ended up with a bike based on advice given in the thread..So calling her an attention whore?? DAMN!
