I can get 125 in 5th gear, 6th gear will just bog down the bike to around 110. I talked to a guy that said I need to drop down to 4'th, but revving the bike that high is just stupid. Yes, its fast enough. I ride +/- 5 mph the speed limit anyways, I just wanted a quick bike and thats what I have. EasyRider, Look at the link 2005GZ250 posted. Top speed is 165 mph. In the guiness book of records it was recorded 173 mph. Obviously its calculated. When I roll the odometer to around 90,000 km's I'll do a rebuild. I don't think I want to sell it for a while. I really like it, I didn't want you guys getting the idea that I didn't. Thanks all.
