November 20, 20168 yr Moderator Tut tut, that's a Dt125r. Small difference but makes a big difference as far as the engine is concerned. That bike on a good day with the right mods may actually do 80mph, I would take the speedometer reading with a pinch of salt as I would expect up to 15mph error. Nice bike. Done well to survive, most are dead.
November 20, 20168 yr Author It dose 85mph had her clocked by my dad's car Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
November 20, 20168 yr Moderator Yep. Like i said, spedometer accuracy is off. My car is off by around 10mph. When the clock says 85 im doing 75 as per my tom tom. Be happy, you have a good bike im not shooting you down. With some care and a quality exhaust properly jetted. Providing the engine is still sound you bike could hit a genuine 85. Its where all the bullshit comes from with the later dtr's doing stoooopid speeds. Yours is one of the last genuinely restricted bikes. Later dtr's didn't have their wings clipped. They were designed to 12kw so have to be tuned. BIG difference.
November 20, 20168 yr Author Owell power valve is pined and front end lifts 1st 2nd 3rd am still happy [emoji16] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
November 20, 20168 yr Moderator Oh well? Strange. You should be able to comfortably humiliate any  4stroke 125. No matter what they are. In fact anything post 2002 will be lucky to pass you without spending proper money. Define pinned. You will need to check that as they can move. It needs the pv re drilling and the pin re fitting for it to stay open. Keep an eye on the pv seals too.Â
November 20, 20168 yr Author That what I'm sayin am happy either way it's brilliant fun to drive wheelie past 4strokers all day long it's only really aprilia 125s that will beat the dt Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
November 20, 20168 yr Moderator Thats alright. They will break down soon enough and when your buying beer. They will be buying piston kits.
November 20, 20168 yr Author TDR must be a beast is it brilliant bikes Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
November 20, 20168 yr Moderator Imagine your bike with only slightly better brakes and 50hp. You nuts get hot. The screen aims the wind at your face and the seat is used for torture at guantanamo. But on your fav country road  no matter what shit is dragging you down when the engine hits 6k you dont care. Your laughing.
November 20, 20168 yr Author Sound fun any idea where I could source an original white headlight cowl for my dt as mine has a shitty polysport one Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The ''R' Cynic, that must be for racing eh, or rare? l dont think it stands for ''ridiculous'' as in claims that it will do 85mph (on the road), but i could be wrong, it has been known.
November 21, 20168 yr Author Speedo on the car was wrong by 3mph my dt dose 82 mph exactly Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
