This has a 14 tooth front sprocket and I'm going with a stock 44 tooth to see how it does but i have a 36, and a 32 tooth so just have to see check the update thread tomorrow.I owned a Hodaka Ace 90 and it was out of breath at 50.
A modern YZ125 is more twice the H.P of this engine which is probably no more than 7 hp, it's not a racing bike engine. It's a transportation bike engine with wide powerband, no reed box or windowed piston. I also owned the 1977 Hodaka Road Toad 100 which had better porting, higher compression and a reedbox, about 11 H.P. tops and would just squeak out 60 mph.
So no, in a normal weight and geared motorbike this is not a fast engine.
