What do people think of an Aprilia RS250???

**2strokegirl** · 26th March 2007, 15:01

lol. if you were just over 60kg affman then i should be able to get atleast 190 out of the lil thing. i think itl either do it or it wont

either way i no it does 150 no where near pushing it and thats fast enough for me.. for now anyway

ps i brought it back from the a.g.m in giz to the shop and when i was cornering it my knee was about 10cm away from the road im not sure if thats a pathetic atempt to corner a sport bike or not but it was fucken fun lol.

oh and gijoe1313 the children and the dolphins will be fine lol

How did you arrive at that figure?

Ive only ever got 206 out of my bike, and that was a long road with head on the tank..
Accelerates sweet until 190 then slowly rings out to 205 206..
I know of a rz350 early 80's bike with custom made sprockets that did a little over 320..

i sold my bike!!!!!! yay. im so happy now.

bigger speed = bigger bike...

anyway... weight isn't so much the issue with top speed... aerodynanics are... weight just makes you get there slower... you can be 50kg's, or 100kg's... aslong as you can get yourself fully into the bikes air pocket it wont make much diff how fat you are...

anyhoo... congrats on the gpx

Getting your pegs down does not alway mean your doing well. I don't see racers getting thier pegs down and they are on a lean far greater then you will achieve on the road. It all depends on wheather your hanging off the bike, peg clearences, if you take the wrong line and have to lean harder to go round then a rider who takes better lines. Knee down and pegs down don't mean squat. Ride behind a fast rider and you may have your knee down on every corner and he will be a speck in the distance.

so where will you be buying

carbs, filters, exhaust, suspension, mirror polished internals, hot cams, forged pistons and some engine balancing weights from?

**2strokegirl** · 27th March 2007, 15:12

hey just cos a gn250 strugles to do 120 doesent mean that mine wont do 200. yours is heavy + a cruiser and its a single cylinder. dont go saying mine wont do it untill i have tryed cos if it somehow magicly it manages to do 200 or atleast 190 i will laugh in your face

. lol.

oh yeah klown i was swinging off. like half on the seat and half not if you get what i mean im not sure how to put it in words.

Quite frankly, 200kph on a bike would scare the crap out of me. Screw that.

it's not that bad... once you get over about 250 and the bike becomes airborn on every little bump cause you don't have the weight to hold it down... then it gets a bit exciting....

Oh and 200 on the gpx on stock gearing... doubt it. Remember your speedo reads high.
