...it can easily maintain speeds in excess of 80 mph (130 km/h) while consuming fuel (87 octane) at 55 to 75 miles per gallon US from its 4.8 US gallon (18 L) tank and has a top speed of about 100 mph (160 km/h).

Huh, maybe my friend was telling me about this 250 he rode was older or shittier or something.
If that website is right, it is a decently quick bike. But who knows how light the rider was running the tests. Still I'd want something quicker than my car to ride.

No, your friend is probably right. From what I've heard, it feels slow (especially if you're coming off a bigger bike) and you have to wring it out pretty good. Unfortuately, I can't speak from experience since I passed up the only chance I had to ride my friend's 250r because I was sick at the time.

but sometimes u dont even realize how fast ur going cuz im looking out ahead of me and not at the speedo
i have a 2002 yzf r6 it is a great bike it red lines at 15500 rmp it handles great and it will pull up in 1 2 and 3 gear. i think you will have a lot more fun on a bike then putting a turbo in your car.

Mechanical inertia > me. V-Twin is great for torque though.
