I was initially OK with the 125's numbers, since I live near Interstate 80 there are plenty of tractor trucks going by at 55. Some even 50. I'd cruise behind them no problem. Just gotta watch out for maniacs who pass on the right at 75mph and almost clip the left rear of your car/ bike.

When i was a kid , had a Honda xr75 that did 50mph if I was tucked in ,clocked with a car on pavement.
Yeah I swear my TTR125 can almost hit 50, since I catch up to cars on my 35mph road, where most people go 40+. But aero forces are probably exponetially harder to overcome for each MPH. (not a scientist in case you thought otherwise)
