Sounds like someone has a good imagination :hahaha: :hahaha:

Well I can keep up with bigger bikes without to trouble on tight twisties but of course they have much better acceleration out of the corners.

I ride mine every day up and down the motorway at around 120km/h (speed limit here is 100k) without any problem, I have ridden it at 140-145km/h for extended periods of time (ie couple of hours) and had no complaints. BUT of course it is only a 250 and at the end of the day a bigger bike is just going to leave you in the dust :hahaha: but it is quite adequate for what I want it for which so far is 67000k

OK comparison time, I have now ridden my not yet run in GT250 naked to work twice last week, and my fully run in GV650 which is LAMS restricted (ie about half the HP but most/all of the initial torque - they are lobotomised to prevent full revs) twice this week.

At 1/2 the HP the two bikes are pretty even in power on paper especially taking into account the GV's greater weight. In reality though torque is EVERYTHING - performance differential is a wee bit chalk and cheese. :rolleyes: GT takes a little time to wind up whereas the GV is twist and you're there (as I discovered today when overtaking a slow truck, 70-115km before I knew it)

Having said that the GT puts up a very creditable performance and I'm sure it will be even better once run in is over and I can wring the go-grip and get the little twin spinning up where it wants to spin. Even in its rather new state it has no trouble dragging my 120kg dead weight around at (ahem) 100kph (I am on a restricted learner's permit...) although a windshield does seem to make it easier. It may not be able to smoke every bike on the road but it is no slouch either and gets me off the mark more than fast enough even if its not eye-popping. And as Greg says its very good on the twisty stuff too. A very economical but still fun commuter bike.
