Hey guys I started wondering on the bike the Kawasaki Eliminator 125 because I found out at 14 you can't go bigger than 125cc so how fast can that bike go because I know it cant be too fast since its a cruiser. So how fast do u think it'd go and how much you'd have to push it to go that fast? Thanks!

This is for the 2001. Looks like about 60mph. Not super fast, but it'll get crazy high fuel economy!

Fast enough to kill you.

Incredibly poignant, and undoubtedly true.

Thats all 12 hp, I've gotten more out of a 50cc briggs and stratton motor (well I've gotten around 10hp) Why is it so low on power?

10 HP from a 50cc? And it was a four stroke? I'd expect that from a 2-stroke, maybe..

This is a four stroke single cylinder engine.. Wonder what the compression ratio is on it?

Why does it matter?

it started at 7.8:1 compression and I had cut to bring it to about 9.5:1, then I switched to a dirtbike carb and a staight exhaust with no muffler, the thing would keep up with my friends 10hp gocart. That thing was pretty hairy, the throttle was a on/off switch, it was either bogging or making me go "oh "poo poo"". Man I miss that go cart, I should never sold it, esspecially to a kid for $275 he probably killed himself on that thing.

In the junior dragsters they make about 50hp on a highly modified 50cc briggs and stratton motor, in highly modified I mean theres nothing original about these motors except the displacement, Hot Rod mag. did a article on them last year, good reading.
