Took about 3 seconds to jump up to 109, but that's not even close to being an accurate way to judge top speed, all we get from this is where the limiter is at.

 

Curious if the rider could have pushed the Z125 a bit harder to hit 110.
Here's a max speed comparison video between the msx and z125. If the msx can hit 110, isn't it likely that the z125 can do that too?

 

Just to be clear the top speed is in km/h not mp/h. Big difference.

 

Thanks for the clarification. I'm used to the mph measurement.

 

Could be similar to how a car works where there's a limited put into place before you can hit the maximum speed. Still think he could have hit 110 on the Z125.

 

Tried to find a real top speed video where a z125 is actually on the road, but all I could find is the following.

While you can't see exactly how fast he's going, it does help to get a sense of its get up and go:

 

Seems to accelerate up to speed pretty fast but I'm not a great judge of that from a first person video.

 

Odd that Kawasaki didn't release the maximum speed it can go but 110km/h is probably it.

 

That's what I was surprised to see as well, even publications that reported a lot of other specs didn't make note of it, not even speculation.

 

Seems like the person decelerated right after hitting 109, could giving the Z125 throttle have made it cross into the 110 threshold?

 

Maybe it's not something moto companies release so owners can find out the top speed themselves the fun way.

 

Typically it's listed but for some reason right now it's harder to find it. I'm sure eventually we'll see it. There are at times different versions of spec sheets.

 

i can go 64 mph on flat

 

My tobp speed is about 55mph, but down hill Ive hit 66mph

 

Also rider weight has a lot to do with it.

 

Stock Z125, 190 lbs rider, level surface, top speed 58 mph...

 

That's not too bad.

 

With about 40 miles on the odo now, I hit an indicated 59 mph slightly downhill this morning.

 

What's your weight if you don't mind me asking? Lol

 

I have a chimera intake and yoshi exhaust I hit an indicated 65 on flat ground. Bike has 150 miles and ive done one oil change. I only weigh 125lbs though.

 

Curious where everyone is from , for altitude. Down here in Texas I can do 63 on flat while aero tucking (w/headwind) and i wieght 215... just wondering if altitude has anything to do with it.

 

160 pounds...58mph sitting straight up. Bone stock. 25 miles on odo. Hearing that a $400 exhaust and a $120 intake only gives roughly 3mph makes me regret my order.

 

285lb, 6'0". Top speed of 63 MPH downhill with the wind at my back....chuckling the whole time.

 

If you want a higher top speed you can use taller tires; however, it will reduce your acceleration.

 

On a long downgrade mine will hit the revlimiter at 68 mph @ 10,000rpm in 4th gear.

Always the fast guy aren't you....... :grin2:

Love your board name!

 

mine can go 66-67 down hill..

 

Flat road, no wind. In a tuck 62 mph. I weigh 200 lbs. Oh and bone stock

 

30 miles brand new bike
I weigh 230lbs

flat ground hit 62mph


I think I did 63-64 down steep hill but at that point I had 100 miles on it and didn't want to push it too hard since its still in break in

I dont think it will go any faster then it is now, but that was what I was expecting from it anyways
