Thanks for the post, of course I appreciate its only a 125. However I've test ridden other similar bikes which have had more at the top end. Also although its much lighter, I have an Aprilia habana custom which easily gets to 70 mph! If that's the way it is, that's fine I still love riding it. But thought it worth asking. Will be sure to introduce myself in the newbie section. Cheers, Crispy.

Hi all, Newbie here and newbie to biking, just bought an 2002 xvs dragstar 125. This bike is in A1 condition, only 1230 miles on the clock and looks like its just come off the forecourt! Can't believe I left it till the age of 38 to experience the amazing feeling of riding, but there we go! The paperwork confirms one previous owner who bought the bike at the age of 70!!!! With the last 5 years amassing an amazing 86 miles and the bike has never seen rain! The questions I have are that it gets upto 50 mph pretty quick, however sadly there's not much more!!!! Was wondering if these bikes are restricted in anyway? Another question is that I struggle to get the bike into neutral, I'm hoping that is just a case of adjusting the clutch cable? Particularly as the bike only really been run in despite its age! The only other question is if anyone can recommend a uk based product for polishing up the chrome! Thanks for reading, any answers would be much appreciated. Cheers Crispy.
