it depends on the model, and weight of the rider , but 13hp is the minium for freeways and is lucky to do 60 mph. there are race versions that will do 90 mph :)

How long is a piece of string, basically the Honda CB125T of the 1980s could manage about 80 but most are now restricted to 12 bhp and 65 to 70 mph.
If you want top speed there are some very fast unrestricted 125s but if you have to use a restricted bike for license purposes the best anwer is reduce air resistance with low handlebars rear set footrests and a race fairing and wear race leathers and if you change to a smaller rear sprocket you could be looking at 80 mph 90 for a Honda 125 derestricted using the old model bits but the acceleration will be worse than stock up to about 55 mph.

You're question is far too vague!
Do you mean road legal? Production? On the road, or simply on a dyno? From Real speed calculating tools, or simply from the notoriously inacurrate speedometers on vehicles?
Basically, racing 125's can hit about 130-150 if tuned right, but the engines wont last long at all, and certainly would not be road legal.
A road legal UK 125 for a rider on a CBT and L plates 70mph tops, unrestricted, fastest i've been is 108mph on a Aprilia RS125. But i've heard the Cagiva Mito can pull damn near 120 with a light rider going downhill.

Fastest 125cc Bikes

To a degree the gearing will determine how fast it can go.
Increasing the size of the front sprocket or decreasing the size of the rear will increase speed. However that will decrease the the acceleration and will take longer to reach top speed. Of course the transmission and number of gears also determines top speed.
Hope this helps.

my first bike was a suzuki rg125 it used to do a top speed of 100 mph my mate had a aprilla rs125 and it used to get to 110mph the fastest 125 would be the cagiva meto which i belive will wind up to 118 mph so depends on what bike you get but as for the aprilla and cagiva the upkeep is more than a suzuki or yamaha

I've managed 70mph out of a Suzuki. A 125 on average can achieve a top theoretical speed of 62 mph.

In 12 hp trim expect about 70mph. The "liberated" bikes can put out anything up to about 20-25 hp and maybe hit a ton.

no longer too useful on the Lifan as that's chinese language. maximum a hundred twenty five's gets 65mph till you get the CBR or Aprilia RS that are meant to do extra. My Suzuki GS125 does 65mph incredibly some the time and could get 70mph on a directly with wind in the back of me and introduced a sell off earlier getting on bike ;). carry on with Aprilia, Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki, Yamaha etc in case you desire a solid bike.

In general you wouldn't want to drive this bike on the highway unless it is for a short time. You'd be at full throttle most of the ride. Cheers!
