Chrisoh Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 Dude that bike would be facking blast to run on the track.I hope it takes off. I would love for the big 4 to start bringing their 250 and 400cc sport bikes over.Over in South Africa you can find CBR 250s CBR 400s. etc...

redkow97 Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 it looks great, but what mechanical changes have been made? I've only ridden a 250 cc dirt bike. What's the top speed like on something that size with 6 gears? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dweezel Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 holy dog crap, they actually CHANGED the damn thing?! it's kinda sad actually oh well, i agree, these are the kinds of bikes people should be learning on, not friggin liter bikes!

John Posted September 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 What's the top speed like on something that size with 6 gears?about 100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
420gsxr1000 Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 that thing actually looks like fun!!!! blast around the track at top speed of 100!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benyen Soljax Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 about 100105 actually, and damn that is hot. maybe ill just upgrade to another 250 this winter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted September 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 yeah, thats what kawa says, but there are so many variables...rider size, the bike's running condition, valve clearances, and other factors affect top speed... also keep in mind that stock speedometers are notorious for reading high. especially at higher speeds...id think that real world top speeds would fall somewhere between 95 and 105 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrisoh Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 Yeah throw a pipe, jet kit/PC, get some motor work done, tune it, then throw some Ohlins front and rear suspension on it and whip up on some liter bikes at the track as you pass them on the outside of the corner.

I think it was in a Cycle World magazine back before all but Suzuki quit making the 750's. Yep...loooong time ago when i read that article.

F4iBunny Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 I like the new look. Makes the owners feel like they have some sort of sportbike..Kinda like riding a ZX-10r makes you feel like you have a dick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F4iBunny Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 No really, seriously though...I'm real excited about the new look,especially since the one thing I don't like about the current 250's is the square light. Oh, why did I go and buy an '07?! And wow! Kawasaki green?! What a concept! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
