Now is it just me or is this seller claiming that a 4 stroke Honda CGR 125 can do over a 100mph!
Take a look

I've seen many more outrageous claims.

And the font on the ebay ad hurt my eyes badly Neutral

He had the keys also but the ignition barrel was missing so I doubt they would be of much use. I just think it would be funny when some gullible sod buys it and rings up his mate on the rs 125 and says 'I could easily beat you on my cbr'

The ad did say "over 100mph" earlier, I messaged him asking what stability was like over 100 and he replied with "I'VE NO IDEA"

I notice it has no mirrors, I guess thats what makes it so streamlined to do 90mph?
