An artical on the most restricted 250's made should be a good read lol

Will PB ever 'get with the plan' and test a derestricted MC21? Or MC18 for that matter. No doubt they will have a Standard / Restricted MC28 up against a Full power RGV 250 or Aprillia RS 250, or any other 55 BHP (ish) 250.

Yawn... again!

Funny how when PB were offered rides on something other than a '28 (my '21 and Steve's F3) they declined. Rolling Eyes

I imagine they are looking for a nice 40hp 3XV to test too, just to "prove" how great the RGV they've been banging on about since 1987 is!

If they want to test a proper nsr they can borrow mine, I'm not to far from Peterborough.
Even my underpowered nsr can see off an rgv Very Happy

Does it need to be standard or road going?

Underpowered Paul Confused

?

Drilled airbox, tyga pipes, HRC reeds & stuffers, cleaned cases. Should run pretty strongly if jetted well???

Either they must be crazy for turning that offer down, or they just will never run any NSR test which shows better performance than an RGV.

Haha, both my NSRs go very well thanks (and I dont have to strip them down every 200 miles just to keep them running Very Happy

).

Maybe someone should find out exactly what they want, then we can all turn up on mass and let them try all sorts in one go.....would make a great feature...for us anyway and you lot can finally get an old MC21 in a magazine!

I doubt either of mine are suitable as neither look anything like they did when they left the factory.

I'm sure it would go for alot longer than 200 miles if I wanted it too Wink

As I recall fron riding your '28's one was in a state of disrepair and the other even when running felt like it wasn't Laughing

I think it is just an article about the bike, not an out and out performance test against all other 250's ever made.

Quite a few worms came out of that can!!!

I was thinking the same thing , find out where and when the test is and just show up! Very Happy

When I say under powered Rich thats in comparison to a lot of the bikes on here (a nice safe 59 bhp) but still a healthy power output for a 250.
