I've hit the 70's but I don't like to go any faster ATM cause I don't have a catch can and having oil blow all over the rear tire from the vent hose doesn't sound fun.
Still one more gear and a few RPMs to go.

I've still got the original stock knobbies on my Hawk, and I've had it up to 71 indicated before. Not something I would like to do again. It gets really sketchy and loose-feeling. Maybe when I burn through these tires I'll get something like a Shinko 705 (what I currently run on the DR), and then see how it feels. I think I'm going to replace the front tire at the same time I replace the rear, just to get away from the stock front tire. I'll also probably get a new set of wheel bearings while I'm in there. So to recap, 71 mph on the clock, but I was not at all comfortable with how it felt. I usually cruise the Hawk around town at about 50-55 or so, and it feels ok.

LOL what? Please send a link to this kit.
It almost does 85 now and I will test that theory as soon as I get a catch can. I plan on putting in the 4v head, 212 kit and cam. At that point it will hit around 100. Mike Davis has done it. In the photo, I am in 4th there is still one gear left to go. It is hard to brap at 70+ in 35mph zones. |

It won't do 85 on a motor with their kit installed unless it has a serious amount of work done to the motor, and I'd be shocked if you'd get 90 out of even a 212, much less live to tell the tale of you got a hellcat going that fast.
Even if you've got an extra gear to pull, a stock 125cc 4t motor won't pull hard enough to do more than ~70. Their kit is basically a pod and a sprocket, and too much money IMHO for not much. You can source everything off of eBay for half or less of their price. Buying from their site will just fleece you. |

I haven't had the 125 in it for a while. There is a video on one of the FB clone groups... a Vader with 190>212, 4v head and a cam hitting 101. I think it also had a 30mm carb... But you're right I do not plan on going 85 very often if at all. I just want lots of pull around town and for short braps on the highway. The 190 is pretty fun but I wanted just a bit more. A pod and sprocket. Good god.

So, over time, it's been harder and harder for me to reach the same top speeds I once easily reached with my Buccaneer. I still can get the higher speeds tucked in behind traffic, but free and clear in the open air, not so much.
Well, a couple days ago I noticed my revs climb just a bit when I chopped the throttle and then immediately gunned it in 5th gear at 70+mph. And after that, I experimented a bit more, and I definitely have clutch slip. It's not noticable in the lower gears, but in 5th on the highway at > 70mph with all that headwind, I can make it slip pretty easily now. It doesn't slip a lot, but enough. What's the general life of a Chinese clutch on a 250cc bike with a fatass rider? I've got just under 7000 miles on it so far. Fortunately my motor is an XV250 Virago copy, so I've ordered a Barnett clutch and springs that should drop right in. Has anyone else had to replace a clutch with relatively low miles? I guess in bigger bikes I've also worn out my share of clutches. OEM clutch in my V65 Magna lasted to about 16k miles. Barnett clutch lasted another 74k after that, before it too was worn out. CX500 clutches worn out in about 20k miles. But this is the first 7000 mile clutch  Charles. |
