So why are we concerned about speed and not suspension and handling? One of you said you did well against an r1 in corners...well no crap. They HAVE to enter and exit much slower because if they spin the wheel in a corner (and don´t have that technique under control) they´re down and out for the rest of the race.
and the newer vtr 250´s have 5speed tranny...idk where you´re getting 125mph but unless you have heavily upgraded jets and needles, the airbox, lightening of the bike and yourself I don´t see that happening! 90-100 is average on the speedo/tach...but is it calibrated correctly with the size tires you have, etc?
