There are no street legal big bore kits for the Honda 125's. I see no reason to illegally modify a 125 when I can just buy a motorcycle / scooter that meets my speed requirements from the factory. It is likely cheaper too. The Honda Trail is $4,300 while the ADV 160 is $5,000. I doubt you can buy the parts to boost the Trail 125 to a real 70 mph for $700.

Honda has also started selling the XR150L in the USA for $3300 this year. So for $1000 less than the retro styled Trail 125 Honda has a street legal 70 mph dual sport.
