6 months ago i got a quote to add the '74 XL-100 to my motorcycle insurance premium - lik e$20 a year... lol. it's running good now, i'm going to look into the light bulbs to make the headlight and taillight work - and i guess blinkers too. i wanna get it street legal :)
it took a half of a mile for me to hit 55mph outside my neighboorhood. and going down that dirt road i was doing pretty good to cruise at 40-45mph :P uphill i could have prob hit 40... but a car in front of me was doing 35 (which was ok - it took me half the hill to even CATCH the car who was like 100-150ft in front of me....)
yeah, it's slow... but it's FUN! :D apparently the 1978 XL125 had 10HP with a top speed of 62mph, while the 1976-1977 XL125 had 13HP and a top speed of 70mph. compare those numbers to my Yamaha FZ600 that has approx ~78HP and a tops speed of 135MPH :) or the VW Passat has 178HP and top speed around 135MPH.
