[quote][i]Originally posted by el gordo[/i] it really is too subjective to just say... there's 2-strokes and 4-strokes, twins, in-line 4's, v-fours all with completely different engine characteristics that affect the way the frame performs. for sheer outright top speed and accelleration from passing your 1st test you want something like a 250cc 2-stroker (known as a stroker) but they can be temperemental and people expect to have to replace the engine every couple of years if not ridden like a complete pussy. Bear in mind this bike is so light and so fast I've seen them on track-days in fast groups passing R1'setc - but only the twisty places like Rockingham (National lay-out) and Cadwell (full circuit). Get them somewhere with high speeds and the power of the 1000cc superbikes gives them enough on the straight to get away. that will be your best bet if you'll luikely be riding on crotch-rockets all your biking life. Insurance will be a killer though and you can guarantee a used bike will not just have been ridden hard, but mega-abused so new is the only real safe option. If you want something that'll still do about 105mph and accellerate not much slower than a 600cc in-line 4 then a 4-stroke 250 will do you fine, particularly the Hornet (www.hondahornet.co.uk have a few 250 riders and I know someone there is selling a rather nice example!). It keeps up with the 600's on ride-outs, until we're up at 110mph+. Then you can look at the little jap import v-twins like the baby firestorm at 250cc. This will be so underpowered it's unreal though. Twins need to be bigger than their in-line or v-4 counterparts to put any decent bhp out though cc-for-cc they have more torque. 125's - only bother if you're going for a stroker, or the new CBR125 (brand new model). For what they cost though you'd be as well on a stroker 250. In particular the Aprilia RS250 and the Honda NSR250 are renowned performers with GP heritage. [/quote]
