what kind of speeds to be expected out of an ody fl250 websites say 50mph with a well tuned motor but whats it realy gunna do and if im gunna go slower cause im a bigger guy

It'll do over 100mph in the back end of the right pickup truck!

Being a bigger guy will slow its acceleration down a bit more than its top speed.

The question is pretty broadly answered due to many different factors. Tire size and kind and even air pressure will make a huge differance.

Due to you being bigger the tires will naturally have more drag with your weight at speed than a person half your size.

I have seen stock machines that ran strong and built ones that ran OK at best. Even the condition of the belt and the clutches ability to shift out as far as they can will affect it.

Temperature and humidity can even affect it day to day. Both in air fuel mixture into the motor and how many people do you know who add more air to the tires cause its colder out?

So no set speed really matters. 50mph is prolly a good topped out speed for a nice running 250. Honestly that fast or faster in one is pushing it IMO. No rear suspension can get bad in a hurry if the goings not smoooooooooth.
