Install a 16 Tooth Front Sprocket - Page 10

Gears, rpm and speeds of both sprockets. Based on the real ratios/speeds, not on the speedometer.

Again, nice work. I really appreciate this research that you are doing.

Now if we can just find a few more HP in this little bike, we'll be set.

It would really be nice to have a second cylinder...

But then you'd have a Rebel! Heh heh

Next week I'll post a video reaching 90+ mph... Next week because I still don't get that high speed, but I'll reach it for sure. :cool:

That wouldn't have to stop for gas every 100 miles.

The rebel is also a slightly smaller( cramped) bike to sit on. The handle bar knee clearance in tight turns is almost non existant for longer legged folks. Still a fine bike that has brought many people into riding without scaring them silly with power and weight issues. Still doesn't look as good as a GZ.

I agree with that. When I started looking for a bike, I was looking at the Rebel. As soon as I sat on one, I got up and went to look at the GZ, and haven't regretted it for an instant. As you say, they are fine bikes, though.

I think Honda remedied the Rebel with their Nighthawk. But, alas, no one rides Nighthawks.

I'd ride one if they made them with a disc brake. If I found one cheap enough I'd buy it anyway. I almost bought a NightRebel/RebelHawk hybrid last year. The seller wanted to much for it and would not come down off his price.

I've seen quite a few CB250s on the road. Way more than I have seen GZ250s. So somebody rides them.

I'm not sure I'd call the Nighthawk a remedy.
