Hi guys. What's the top spedd of the 200gti and the 300gti. I am just trying to do a comparison.
-
I have had my 300 GTI up to 90 mph on the highway. That was about max for me....240 lbs also
-
Wow. impressive! Thanks
-
72mph GTI 200
-
I hit 90 MPH today, GT300i, 1,000 miles and counting...I'm 220 pounds...and counting...
-
New hi speed: 94 indicated on flat ground, with a tail wind...and speed was still climbing!!!
-
On some of the Euro sites they spec a top speed for the bikes. I found a french site with that info on my Yager.
I was surprised the 150 and 200 (actually 170) are only 1 km/h different (109 km/h for Yager)!
-
Thanks guys. I am getting 105 kph with my GTI 125. Cant wait to bolt on my 300 engine!

Kymco UK has this to say about the 300i;
"That can Achieve a top speed of with a 90mph @ 8000rpm Powerful 29.5bhp"

That's the power rating for the Downtown, the People should be around 28hp.
I've seen 100mph with a tail wind on a test bike with 6000km (4k miles) on it.
Going the other way, it would still do over 90mph.
It was a bit faster then the Downtown test bike I had for a weekend (by about 5mph).
My own DT300 is a lot slower with it's huge 50l topcase and a big windscreen, even with
the malossi multivar and dr pulley sliders. Often won't go over 85mph.
-
Oh ya your right when I see GTI 300 I think Downtown. I keep forgetting there is a People 300 now!
Kymco stop naming everything so darn similar! Call it the ST300 or 300RR or something!
It looks like it was the People S 300i but now for the US it's the GTi 300 , my scoot is getting
smaller every day!
-
There's a grand dink 300 and K-XCT 300i now too.
;D
Different engines, tho!
-
Okay guys finally tested out my 300. She is a powerhouse indeed. I have only taken her up to 125kph and the powerband at that speed is awesome. Not sure if she would do over 130kph. I need more road to do so. Having said that I still have the 125cc coil on her. Not sure if that is restricting my speed. But I am happy with this speed.
-
I have never taken my GTi300 past 75mph (I'm a wussy) I don't feel comfortable cruising @ those speeds. But it felt like it have more left over after 75mph. 28.7HP is impressive. Plenty of torque, which is what I want!

Call me curios, is a wussy a female wuss? You people remind me of my students asking me all the time how fast my MC would go.

wimp+pussy = wussy

I have a 2012 GTI300 with about 650 miles. I put Dr Pulley 14g sliders and a iridium spark plug in it. I was riding out in the country and hit 80 effortlessly and pretty quickly. There was more left, but I ran out of road and nerve. I weigh about 215.
-
Wow. That's great to hear. I am waiting for my Dr. Pulley and Iridium plug as well. Can't wait to service it with my new parts.

My mother-in-law was looking at my new LIKE 163i scooter the othe day, specifically at the speedometer - she said to my father-in-law, "Don, this will go 100 miles per hour!" I winked at him and said, "Yep, and I've ordered a new 120 MPH speedometer so I can go even faster!"

When I was in grade school... I usually look at car's speedos to determine its power... If the speedo reads 120 mph max... that's no good... I usually am impressed with 140-150mph speedos... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Got mine up to a little past 90 mph indicated last weekend. And that was at 5000 feet elevation. About as fast as I really want to go in it! It's got some poop!
-
Don't the DT300i and the People 300i use the same engine? Why would the DT have more horsepower?
-
2013 GT, stock.
A few days ago I got the GT up to 92 on speedo.
A car was in slow lane and another was blocking the passing lane. Had to shut down.
Think I could have made 95 if I had not been blocked.
195 pound rider.
Plan to try again when I catch a calm day and clear roads.
Will have synthetic oil in when I try again.
Very confident it will hit 95 on speedo.
Not sure about accuracy of my speedo.
The GT pulls from 15-70 very quickly.

90mph on a scooter..........
You guys are nutty -
I know lots of people share your interest in this kind of thing, but my explanation for this type of behavior is: "Those people have no imagination."
Ride safe.

Stig,
I respect what you are saying, and I don't plan to make it a habit of going that fast. But, these GTi300s are really a motorcycle with the convenience of a scooter! ;D
In my opinion; up to 75 mph, it feels really stable and good, pushing it to 90 is OK for some short spurts like quickly passing. I don't plan on spending a lot of time there. After installing my Biondi windshield I plan to try it again to see how it feels.
-
Agreed.
I had my Downtown at it's top speed very often on the open roads, which was 85-90mph,
depending on the wind (huge windscreen and topcase don't help).
It behaves better then my Kawasaki 650R did at those speeds.

OK, sounds like you guys are not so nutty - I just worry about fellows at those high speeds on 400lbs of spot welds and plastic running with all those steel cars and texting drivers.
How the deuce do those 10" wheeled big engined Vespas do these speeds on interstates?
-
I did a 2 way average using GPS with about 600 break in miles on the bike, 83MPH. Also took the bike to the local 1/8 mile drag strip, best time was 11.358 at 60.008 MPH. This is quicker that my old Yamaha Majesty 400, Aprillia Atlantic 500 and a friends Kymco 500. The Aprillia and Kymco 500 did run slightly faster MPH. Planning on making a few mod's to help performance a little in the coming weeks. Will keep you posted.

Had the GTi out to the drags again last Sun. Wanted to see what happens with light rollers. I drilled the stock roller out about 3/32". Not a lot of difference in weight, I like to take small steps and see what each step does for performance. Ran a best of 10.962 @ 61.743 mph. Top speed is the same and if anything the MPG has improved a little. See previous post for stock times.
