How fast does your 250 ,244cc go By scot (Read 1,270 times)

I just wonder on straight aways what the top speed guys are getting,an up hills does it go 60mph up hills,i know how weight plays role in this to I guess about 250 I weight alone,how do they do on highways for those who ride them ,I guess I just want to make sure I can keep up with traffick ,when I get to the 55mph zone ,had it up to 40 today,felt pretty good ,I guess it takes about 100 miles for front tire to feel less stiff,some of you know I am getting back into rideing after  5 years away ,an a pretty bad wreck I find it hard to not still think about it,but it was fun rideing around town for about an hour seems pretty good

Around Tucson, average altitude 2300', my 2011 Roketa has no problem holding 60 mph, even up moderate hills, and doesn't sound like it's straining at all. Have had it up in the high 60's briefly. Scoot weighs about 375, I'm around 210, add maybe 25 lb for fluids and small cargo. Up in Ruidoso, however, average 7000', my 2012 Magnum, a "300" (engine is actually something like 276cc) definitely feels the altitude difference. Can run it at 50-55 on mostly flat roads, but it bogs down a lot on steeper hills, of which there are many. Scoot itself weighs around 575, as I recall. So if you run a 244 at altitude I suspect you'd see some performance drop. Mixture tweaking, and worse case different jets, might help. I see you're in NH, don't know what that means in terms of terrain and altitude.

I suggest that you have the balance on that front tire checked. The one I had was so badly out of balance it took the maximum amount of weights to make it rideable. It would top out about 70 MPH.

Just Googled around about Try NH and NH in general, and it looks like darn near nowhere in the state is higher (altitude) than Tucson average, so unless you have some seriously steep hills on your major highways you should be able to pull 60 with ease, maybe a bit more. Interstates with 75mph, maybe not so much, but does NH even have those?

IT IS REALLY FAST

hehehehehee its pepy then I live about 1100 feet above sea leval hear then drops to about sea leval in the vallys,that's good to know its got some pep then ,hey going to be in high 60s its near time for ride into town few more rides around town ,yes it felt like at 40 I still had like half throttle there so I guess they would get out on the highway fine as well to
