HELP! I need a faster bike for Uni as i will be doing dual carriageway riding and aswell as inner city riding. I currently have a Honda cbf 125 and will be doing my A1 this following year. The CBFs lovely but will only cruise at 60 and that doesn't fill me with confidence as i fear it will harm the engine if its done on a long trip. What 125cc would be best considering speed and the fact in 6ft 2inch. Any suggestions or advice?

Well yeah, but there are people that are more worried about it's consume and the money that you spend repairing, than the power at all. I must admit 4 strokes are slow. But with 300 euros you can upgrade to 184cc and you can't compare to the r125 original power. It gets a good boost I'm talking about the yamaha yzf r125 btw, aftermarket stuff come from Itally so it's expensive. Idk about the others
