Top speed on S2 250 is really only 80 mph....SPEDOMETER LIES.. have someone match you or clock you if you want... vibration all full throttle makes you wonder if you should ever maintain this speed indefinately... would reccomend bigger bike to leave city and hit innerstate highways.. short durations of 75 plus might be ok....I live on south side of my city and commute on S2 to North side... 13 miles one way, S2 is perfect for this little trip but I would not leave state due to lack of power and speed, not because of any other reason ... I love and trust my S2
