@ruseell95 I find hard to believe a CB125T Superdream will do 85-90. More like 65mph if you're very lucky. I think 55mph is about it for these. BTW, I need a new camshaft for mine and can't get one.
@1100HondaCB however if you can get the cam off one of the earlier 15hp ones, they pull about 80mph. Takegawa makes a hot cam for them. The CB125T from the 1970ies would pull 80 easily. L plate laws reduced their speed because of the 12hp limit before that they were 15-16hp
@Scootertuner1000 I have a cg125 and currently restoring a CB125T. The CG125 will do 55mph and thats it. The CB125T is obviously restricted to 12bhp. How could I get it to full power as the 1970 models were and as the German models are also.
@1100HondaCB either find an old 1970ies CB125T about 1979 to 1978-1980 and lift the engine out of it, or find a good head and camshaft along with larger carbs, from the earlier model. Or you can get new parts, a Takegawa cam shaft 26mm carbs. genuinemotorcycleparts.c om /parts/
unfortunatley someone has fitted your twin with the cm/cd 2-1 inlet manifold and single carb, this really does slow them down a lot! and adding a kn with that micron/motad 2-1 wont help, too much back pressure. I have had 4 of these and tune them, most will do 85-90 when played with :-) I have a 2-1 exhaust with a straight through carbon can for sale if anyone is interested

@1100HondaCB I had one of these it would do 70mph at something like 11,000rpm maybe a little more, RPS that that is.

@1100HondaCB I have 1980... So not restricted... TBH I honestly cant tell the power difference between it and an SR125

does the filter make much differance in performance? Is it easy to fit as mines under the panel on the right side of the bike.
