How fast can a GW250 go after removing the speed limiter?
2 Answers
GW250 can reach a maximum speed of no more than 140 after removing the speed limiter. Here is more information about motorcycles: Big Trade Vehicles: Big trade vehicles are motorcycles imported into the country through official channels by dealers, and they can be legally registered and enjoy after-sales services. Small Trade Vehicles: Small trade vehicles refer to motorcycles imported into the country by some companies or individuals, which can also be legally registered and driven on the road, but they do not enjoy after-sales services. Usage: When using a motorcycle, it is essential to strictly adhere to traffic rules. Always wear protective gear and a helmet, and wear professional riding gear to enhance safety during riding.
I've been riding motorcycles for several years. The GW250 can theoretically reach around 170 km/h after removing the speed limiter, as the factory speed is limited to between 140 and 150 km/h, mainly through ECU restrictions on engine output. However, in practice, increased wind resistance affects stability, reduces handling, and makes the bike more prone to skidding or losing control. Modifications come with risks, including potential fines for illegal modifications, and can damage the engine and bearings, shortening the bike's lifespan. It's advisable to check local regulations first—safety should always come first, and it's not worth risking for momentary thrills. High-speed riding wears out the rear tire quickly, reduces braking effectiveness, and significantly increases the chance of accidents. For daily use, keeping the factory settings is more reliable, and regularly checking tires and brakes saves money and ensures peace of mind.
