Looked good to me, I have a GV250. Gotta remember, it is a small engine. There's not a lot of torque when you shift but it pumps up to highway speed amazingly well for a 250.
@stayjit1 It was a remarkable if a bit unnerving experience winding this up to 11000rpm. I was new to bikes at the time and if I had it now, I'd be extremely comfortable doing it. I had this up around 140km/h one day though and it was solid.
@scepticusbatsicus I was, but it was a starter bike, so I moved on to a Vstar 1100 after about a year. I had concerns about how long a 250 would last me, but the guy I sold it to has 55000km on it now and says he hasn't had any trouble at all.
Another proud owner of gv250.... Enjoy...

This is not a well done 0-60.(o 70?)
You shifted slow,you used half throttle for 2-3 secs.I think this bike can do 0 60 in 10 secs.Too bad I dont have a cam to test it.
