dirtydoogle 383 Report post Posted August 31, 2009 I was never a balius fan to be honest...bros650 works for me though The little kwaka screaming fours were bloody cool though, I have fond memories of raping zxr250a and c's and even honduh cbr250 [be it mc19 or 22] all were brilliant, so was the 3ln fzr250. Not that I'm a bike nut or anything.... Get a vfr Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
|ncary 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2009 (edited) They are tough looking bikes the Balius'. And with a noise like that.... Ohh it's cream inducing. (I welded a straight through, 800 gram, carbon fibre exhaust on it to get that sound) A lot of veteran riders thought it was a 600+cc. It goes amazingly for a 250 however. And a 10cm shorter wheelbase than the ZXR gave it a nice handling advantage. Those CBR250rr's are amazing for a 250, bet you had fun on that haha. I sold the bike to pay for Uni sadly. If I ever get some spare cash I'd get a GSXR600 or a CBR600R, both amazing sport bikes. Will include picture: *And I LOVE people with their boring desk job, who speed on the way home, and don't love there family, hate their life, and wish they were young again, and get pissed off by anyone under 30, who rate youtube videos 1 star, thinking it has a massive effect while grinning to themselves and hiding in anonymity.

dirtydoogle 383 Report post Posted September 1, 2009 (edited) I remember the balius' did 31hp at the wheel. Hers my last 250, I just sold it. Sick of 34hp at the tread, rather have 70 again [at the tread] The balius did go ok for a 250 =D I've ridden them all and I prefer the cbr250rr mc22, almost as fun as a vfr400/rvf400. I found the cbr/zxr handle better than a balius, better suspension makes a huge difference. They also handled better than my old 250, and went a bit better. Mine was only good for 175-180k Edited September 1, 2009 by dirtydoogle Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
|ncary 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2009 Yeah Vtwins certainly lack that top end pull. The Balius is pushing 190-200 in the vid, the ZXR is good for 210+, even 230 with a draft from me hahaha. You are most likely right about the handling, never went to a racetrack on it, but it sure did huss the Summit Rd with fast handling and great road holding. Bring on a 600! You make it sound much more fun. I just know I'd wheelie for km's at a time though haha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mark247 39 Report post Posted September 1, 2009 I've ridden them all and I prefer the cbr250rr mc22, almost as fun as a vfr400/rvf400. VFR400's are awesome bikes. Trashed the sh*t out of mine every day I had it. Just wasn't fast enough down the straights. Getting walked past by 1000cc bikes on the back straight of Taupo, meh! Some dude in Hamilton owns it now. I was thinking of getting another VFR instead of my latest E30, they are just too much fun. I've never ridden any 600cc bikes, so maybe they would be a better option. After test riding gixxer1000 and a R1 I decided I value my life too much to get one of them just yet... im too trigger happy.. power wheelies are fun though =D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You make it sound much more fun. I just know I'd wheelie for km's at a time though haha I never saw a balius get past 165 to be honest, the standard gearing was only good for a theoretical 170 [from memory] I have seen a zxr do a true 207k over the flying quarter though. But I don't see them getting any faster. My little twin did very well for itself, was quicker than all the naked 250 fours I have ridden. That extra 2-3hp made a wee difference [took too much work to get that much more though] What kind of jetting have you got with that new exhaust? VFR400's are awesome bikes.

After test riding gixxer1000 and a R1 I decided I value my life too much to get one of them just yet... im too trigger happy.. power wheelies are fun though =D The newer 600s are getting closer in terms of handling, I would be faster through a corner on a newer 600 than a vfr [both with me riding] purely because of the confident feel you get pushing a decent 600. I haven't ridden anything faster than a gixxer 750 k6 but that was too silly for me An rvf400 would be ideal for me, or another tickled up bros650 with some nc30 fairings Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had the carbs rejetted and fully rebuilt, it cost 1000 dollars, crazy money. And I had a 1991 45bhp Balius, its the exact same engine as a ZXR fyi (same bore, same stroke, same compression, same carbs, same valves, same head, different block casting however), and have got a mean tuck, would hit 190 without too much drama. (200 with tailwind hahaha) but still a slow 250 LOL *oh and Nath, I wish that was in HD Edited September 1, 2009 by Incary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a shame not many of the naked ones had much power. Don't get me started on the new poo on the market hahaA standard bros650 struggled to do 200k. Mine would only pull around 220 after a very long time and that had a full stainless system and 120 main jets [if I remember right] Stupid lack of fairings lol Edited September 1, 2009 by dirtydoogle Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
|ncary 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2009 Yeah my best mate had a ZXR (in the vid) and we worked on them together, pulled both engines to bits are the are the same, just different engine mounts. I even swapped in a ZXR 1st gear ring after a wee incident with a chain blowing off at a high engine speed (snapped 1 tooth, nice and clicky in first haha) The fairings make a massive difference haha! His bike was way faster over 150, it just outran me no trouble, but my was quicker to 100 Might be the riders fault for that though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
