Naaah... You clearly aren't for real, are you mate? ;)

re #97: Bars flopping is clearly loose steering head bearings, introducing such things as The Magical and Thrilling Wobble (ask me how I know!). Torque from 65 ftlbs (anecdotal) to 81 ftlbs (Yammy 660 manual). Be aware that this bike will now be (once adjusted), much like my 78 VW van—which was the fastest van on the planet as I tried to keep it in a straight line on a blustery day at 55 mph... A tad "slower". :)

How fast does a 125 / 150 TS go

not to fast any thing under 300cc but over 100cc is just a large moped
my rt125 with 18,500 miles is hard pressed at 60 and 65 is top
it has been re-geared to 16x52 for better pulling power
if it had original gearing it's top gear would be useless
it works good for what i use it for
but has about half the horse power it needs ...

unless your restricted by the way drivers are licensed in your area
i do not recommend any thing less than a 450 cc bike and make sure its water cooled so it lasts
and if you like scooters then get one with big motorcycle size tires
the pot holes in my area are big enough to fit a scooter in
