LIST of +63MPH /100KPH 125s please.

Hi.
The DVLA specify a 125 officially capable of over 100KPH for the "A"
test (see part 4): http://www.dvla.gov.uk/drivers/rdmcycle.htm

I wonder if anyone has a list of suitable 125s????
I think such a list would greatly help any learner in his/her choice
of learner motorbike.
If you know of/own 125s with above/below 100KPH or 63MPH *OFFICIAL
BOOK SPECS*, could you (pretty) please add them in the appropriate
category below?!
Thanks, Mark K.

125s CAPABLE OF *OVER* 100KPH (per book specs.):



125s CAPABLE OF *OVER* 100KPH (per book specs, WITH OPTIONAL SUPPLIED
SPROCKET):



125s *NOT* officially capable of over 100KPH:

 

Dunno about book spec, but my old DT used to do 70mph bog standard.

Things might be different now though.

 

What on earth do you want A category for? Do A1 then DAS

Isn't A1 the light motorcycles test?

<Goes to check>

Yes, it is, so the OP was correct.

Where did I say he was wrong? I just questioned his motives.

Sorry, I got my licence back in the days of a single test and it was my
impression that most people now did their A test to get a 33hp machine or
went directly to DAS, I didn't think anybody bothered with the thrill of
being able to ride a 125 without 'L' plates.

Am I wrong?

Have you been lunching with darsy?

 

Because it eventually entitles you to ride any bike (A1 is max 125cc).
How about you add some bikes to the list instead of being wrong?

What a polite way to ask for help.

 

As soon as you see caps lock deployed as an offensive weapon, you know
the poster is going to turn out to be a twat.

 

Does look that way.

I would have agreed

Well, apparently Mr Zoom feels that his way is best.

Perhaps mis-named then... more sort of "Mr shuffle"

 

Actually, I'm not really interested in anything bigger than a 125
4stroke, but I would like to have the option for it on my licence. My
prime purpose for getting a bike licence is to ride motorbikes on
holiday because they are far cheaper to rent than a car and easier to
buy/sell after an extended stay. On the Islands we have been to/plan
to visit it is virtually impossible to do over 50mph (cows, chickens,
horses, donkeys, landcrabs, potholes, coconuts and people get in the
way). A 125 can happily carry two people with shopping at a relaxed
pace. The problem is availability of motorbikes (and a scarcity of
helmets) in such places. We did see a family of 4 (husband, wife, two
kids) on a 50cc moped (without helmets, of course)....
Have added your Hyosung to the list, thanks.
M.K.
