topped out the GPX 250 today hahaha

[shayne86]

managed to squeeze a mind altering 175kmph out of her




























downhill

[mike-s]

better that than over a precipice!

[bonester]

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?)

i thought that the GPZ had a 4 cylinder engine?

...........downhill

hang on a minute.......Shayne from .....*Geraldton*........did you say *downhill*............

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

Good stuff, I was happy to see 'the ton' out of my old RD350B, which it saw from .....time to time.... - anyone who can drag 175 out of a non-raced-based 4stroke 250 is doing well.....

[mikk]

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

"tell him he's Dreaming"

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"

Onya mate.
Cheers Brett

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

[mrmina]

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

[krusty]

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.

[ZZRCHIKKY]

he he he , my zzr250 does 165 quite easy might whip it tomorrow and give u the top one

what ya got against good old gero'?

or maybe i just missed the joke

if i wear skin tight lycra, i should have an aerodynamic advantage....right???

[SocialSecurity]

i recon most 250's have pretty optimistic speedos


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

[krusty]

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
