Me thinks I'll learn to do my own oil changes before taking a bike apart, also I would need space and tools to do it. But some day...

Heh, my parents have a barely running Trail 90 in the garage. Almost makes me want to drag it out in my spare time. I need to get the CB going first though.

Are you calling me a liar or just trying to be funny?

I don't see why not, my old Yamaha SR125 would get 66mph from an 80's bike. My '05 Varadero 125cc I had up to 80mph.

Why don't you believe an older bike with near twice the engine capacity can do 53mph?

Nibblet99... just to keep things straight... the Honda C200 had an 87cc engine.

Obviously I can't speak for him, but my bet would be he was saying that to the 175 mpg rather than the top speed. ;)
