Default 11k rpm for 9 hours, no prob

Took a trip across the state yesterday and was on the freeway for 9 hours at near redline with no problems, so i guess i could confirm the new 250 as freeway capable haha

250 dont mess around.

How was the comfort throughout the ride? How often were you stopping?

Awesome !

Do you have a 15T front sprocket or 14T?

Also how fast where you going ? because with my 15T I cruise at 80 mph at 9 k to 10k depending on temperature.

I cruise 85 at 9500 rpm with the stock front sprocket. That's the 14T correct?

The 250r handles freeway speeds very well

yeah but it will stress the metals in your rotating assembly and eventually go kalplunk and shorten service intervals

see ? I don't get this , I have a 15T front sprocket and the rpms are 9k to rpm at 85 depending on the temperature it should be lower .

Oh well , eventually it will be a 600cc I guess lol , but right now is all good.
