Arggggggggh there's more to go! I got 200km/h out of my GPZ250R (same engine) going down the Toowoomba range- a hill with a 10% incline.....(1993 it was...do I sound old now?) :lol:

i thought that the GPZ had a 4 cylinder engine?

How can the 2 words 'Geraldton' and 'downhill' be used in the same sentence ???????? :wink:

Good stuff, I was happy to see 'the ton' out of my old RD350B, which it saw from .....time to time.... :oops:

- anyone who can drag 175 out of a non-raced-based 4stroke 250 is doing well.....

i put a bicycle computer on my zzr250... one of the things it does is log top speed.

managed to get it to say 182kmh, and its set to read speeds a little lower than the speedo. don't ask me how i did that though... maybe i didn't even do it *resets bike computer*

maybe it could go over 200 with a suitably huge mountain

I can just see it when you come home with your Plus 30km speeding ticket & DAD says ....

"that's going straight to the POOL ROOM" :lol:

Onya mate.

Back in the days when I had my gpx250, I managed to squeeze 185kmph out of it... it was a very long straight though....

when i had my 1988 GPX i got 165km/h on the freeway. slightly down hill.

A resprocket should see a a bit more top end out of them.

Just did 240kph on my ZZR1200 with a pillion and luggage on board. And it was still goin hard! Estimate with the close to half a tonne that we could've done a standing 1/4 mile in the 12-13 sec bracket.

i recon most 250's have pretty optimistic speedos :lol:

have to try it with a GPS unit displaying real speed strapped to the bars

Posted: **Tue Nov 29, 2005 9:15 pm**

Scooters have the most optimistic speedos. I'm considering getting one for a run around and some speedos go almost 50km over the max speed the scoot is capible of down hill with tail wind
