What speed can the Hornet 250 reach in first gear?

[HarleyLee]

The Hornet 250 can reach over 60 in first gear and a bit over 100 in second gear. The Hornet is a high-revving machine, requiring up to 18,000 RPM in second gear to reach 100. The gear positions and starting method for the Hornet 250 are as follows: Gear positions of the Hornet 250: Currently, there are mainly two types of gear positions: the rotary gear and the sequential gear (international gear). The rotary gear cycles through 0-1-2-3-4-5-0, while the international gear is 1-0-2-3-4-5 without cycling, with neutral located between first and second gear. Starting method for the Hornet 250: After starting the engine, engage first gear, slowly release the clutch lever while gently applying the throttle, coordinating both actions until a smooth start is achieved. Once the engine is started, it should be preheated for 3-5 minutes before moving. Engine preheating is an essential task, especially in low ambient temperatures, but avoid revving the throttle excessively to speed up the preheating process.
