Sure, why not. I'm a big lad, near 300 lbs, and I could get near 60 out of a 12hp Yamaha SR125.
A 15hp bike like a restricted Aprilia 125 (UK, where I learned, restricts learners to 15hp unless they do the direct access test on a big bike) should be able to hit 70 with no trouble. Capacity and type don't make much difference, just horsepower. Oh look, they happen to have a little scooter that has 15hp and tops out at 70mph.
That's myth proven for me.

It all depends on the friction, meaning rolling friction and wind resistance. If both these are kept to reasonable values then you can easily attain your target speed. I've ridden 90 ccs to over 109 mph.
