The M50 would be a very nice choice.

As far as top speed is concerned most bikes (and cars for that matter) can reach a top speed that is in excess of what the other components of the vehicle are capable of properly handling. Speed is only one factor that should be considered for any vehicle. I would place just as much importance in balance, handling, weight, and gearing. The GZ 250 will go faster than what is safe to ride on that frame design and weight. But it will scoot just fine. Others may disagree but in my opinion the ride starts to deteriorate once you go past 65mph. Badbob also made a good point in speedometer accuracy. I know there is a 5mph difference in my wifes GZ250 and my C50.

Cheers!
