hey all zxr250 owners,

what's the best time you have cross over at the 1/4 mile? and also what mods to the bike for the times?

cheers.

sheeeeeet!
Thats not bad

err 3 minutes???

i was thinking maybe i could crack a 13.9 or a 14.0 after a few runs?

have a mate the did a 13.8 @ 98mph last week at eastern creek on a zx2r

was his bike stock?

what mods did he have for that run, that sounds like a good number for a 250. and also what gear did he cross the line on 3rd? or 4th
i've seen a zxr250 pull a 14.0 on his 3rd run but he sounded like he was still in 3rd gear.

Wow not bad , me with my zxr250 i don't do drag racing or track days but i do want to do more track days, but i'm more into going on big trip's aka touring that's my style of riding and commuting .

That would make it quicker than a stock RGV 250????

We are talking 1/4 not 1/8th mile aren't we??

rgv is quicker than a 13.8 mate

RGV 250 would be much quicker,

nevertheless after a few runs its safe to say a high 13 sec pass won't be impossible to pull of.

also a few weeks ago a black cbr250rr fireblade pulled a 13.8 aswell and by the specs aren't a zxr250 quicker?

i can't wait until i run thats forsure!!

Claimed quarter mile for a stock '89 RGV was 12.57 - even after removing a couple of tenths for factory exaggeration it's still a lot faster than 13.8!

Who cares anyway, there aren't any corners on a drag strip

ausjc your rght mate, RGV's will go quicker then a zxr, and who cares what they go fadi, its a 250!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
go do a track day and worry about your times around ec not the drag strip, corners are where 250s are fun mate

yeah but tim, on a track day i will just be in the way of people at least on the drag strip i will be in my own lane, but i'll try it out

once my bike is back on the road that is... lol

older bikes are a hassel to look after, things jus keep going wrong.

On the track day, you get heaps of time on the track and on the 250 you'd be in white group (slow). Plenty of time to practice and if others are faster than you, they give you heaps of room and pass you when its safe to do so! But make sure you budget on new tyres after the day

Bike is stock apart from a can, he crossed the line pretty much on the limiter in 3rd, got a few 14.0 before hand and then got the 13.8 with a shitty 60 footer of 2.38 so there is still probably another tenth in it
