GZ Top Speed

Well, with a 16T sprocket and the needle shim mods, I hit top end around 70 mph. I'm 5'8" and about 180lbs.

This bike cruises nicely at 55 and 60 mph, and does it well. If I want to cruise at 90, I'll buy a different bike. As for me, I like my little Thumper.

I met several guys on the road who asked me about the bike and how fast it went. I told them all that they could outrun me in a heartbeat, but that I could keep up with them just fine following normal speed limits and safe speeds. Not one of them sneared, and all of them were impressed that a little 250 could make a 2000 mile trip.

80mph on a GZ250 on the straight with no tail wind? Maybe with a tow rope and a crash dummy.
