The average of a 2 way run on the same road is the only way to get an accurate top speed. Downhill with a tailwind doesn't tell us much.
What's your 250 top speed ?
I am curious as to what top speed your 250's will do .Was comeing home yesterday in freeway posted speed 100 kph [62 mph] n noticed speed i was doing 120 kph [74.5 mph] & was doing it easy had plenty of throttle left , next time am out will try to see what she will do. :dance:

I like your reasoning,Mojo. Above 65, they sound like the pistons are ready to start swapping holes anyway. I did a quick-roll over the hood of a car at about 65 mph when I was 16. God was my co-pilot and was OK, but the pilot got a fractured arm & a mild concussion. As I remember, God's insurance had been suspended & I took a total loss on my '57 "Hardley" 165. Hey, any landing you walk away from, is a good one.

My favorite kind of hill for speed is downhill both ways. I prefer uphill both ways for twisties.
mine too, was out on the expressways/highway, and could not get my rebel past 60 mph? What gives? #SlowPoke
Actually any landing you ride away from is a good one.Hey, any landing you walk away from, is a good one.
I was behind a friend and he was doing 110. I was pegged and still had a lil to go. I run diff pugs to
110mph on a 250 with room to spare?I was behind a friend and he was doing 110. I was pegged and still had a lil to go. I run diff pugs to
Or do you mean 110Kph?
Nope. Mph I had iCarly had 1/8 left
no sir. just extended high speed plugsOK well before I call the B.S. on this one, do you have any mods done to the bike?
Is it really a "250" Rebel?
hold on ill get a pic
you dont have to believe me.i was followed by a friend and his car said 110,mine was pegged out.OK well I'm calling your claim mature male bovine excrement now, I can't see how ANY spark plug is going to make your 250 Rebel go 110 MPH, if it were that easy everyone would do it.
anyways have a good day.

whats ur top speed because i have been pulled over being clocked at 100.Well certainly looks like a 250 Rebel, but I'm still saying it's not the whole truth, your buddy might have been joking with you or something.
Many many many 250 owners have tried to improve the 250's top end performance to get what you have claimed.
No one has been able to back up their claims with actual evidence.
Again if it were as easy as changing spark plugs EVERYONE would do it.
i donxt know about other ppl but i peg my bike all the time 85-100mph easy idk i run 85-90 oh the h\w all the time everyone here does 75-80 and i can pass them
i would take a pic but its a little hard to take a pic hugging my bike
man i swear i peg out all the time. what kinda gas do u runMine tops at about 82 or 83 MPH, looks back over all the post about top speeds and most top out in the 70 to 80 MPH range you must have a "super 250" or something.
110 on a Rebel 250??? Must have been an extremely long, steep, downhill.
OK sorry, but I am extremely skeptical of this story. The only way a stock or near stock Rebel 250 gets to 110 MPH is if it rides over a tall cliff or gets pushed out of an airplane. At those speeds most of the power requirement is to overcome wind resistance and that required power is proportional to the cube of the speed. As speed increases, horsepower required goes up exponentially.Nope. Mph I had iCarly had 1/8 left
Thus the power to overcome wind resistance at 110 is roughly 110^3/80^3 or 2.59 times as much as is needed to overcome wind resistance at 80 mph. If we are generous and assume say 8 HP of the Rebel's 16.5 is needed to overcome wind resistance to get to 80 mph, then we would need 20.72 HP at 110 mph plus at least the 8.5 we assumed was to overcome friction at 80 mph for a total of 29.2 HP. This also assumes a no wind condition. So you would need almost two Rebel engines to get up to 110 mph.
This is just conservative physics. You can't fake it.

i dont whegh much maybe ur bigger all i kniw is my bike is FAST even homeboy was like damn

u will see when i get it back together about to head and weld it back.all i can tell yall is its fast. its a lil scary when this ***** just goes, i dont use 1st gearI was drinking water when I read this, I nearly choked on it, thanks for the laugh Duckster!
:lol2:
Your Rebel may be fast, but it's not THAT FAST. We had one guy who claimed to have been clocked at 90 on a speeding ticket, and we thought that might almost be possible at the bottom of a long hill with a snapping tail wind, but I don't buy 110 mph with an unfaired stock Rebel , even a "fast" one.
