With a dep system should be good for around 80-85.

What if i took off the speedo restriction? and put racing reeds in it?

The DT isnt built for top speed, so if speed is what you're after, get a different bike.

Personally, i would rather be doing 40mph while riding a couple of foot away from trees each side of you, in thick mud/loose gravel.

Thats what you should be using a DT for, not riding down a long stretch of road wringing its neck tring to get to the astounding top speed of 85.1 mph.

[edit] Should have noticed you're getting the dtx. In which case, the dt stil isnt built for speed, its build for light offroading, and when on the road its made for wheelies and arsing about..

i had a 1989 dt125lc, an with a full dep exhaust system an carbon reeds, it would sit comfortably at 90mph

Are you getting it new?

If so, your first five hundred miles are probably going to be limited to 40mph or so anyway.

[dazza_2k6]

would you say it would be wiser to get a mx125 instead of the dt then? if so what parts can i get for it?

I only get 75mph outta my DT125RE and thats top

[CrazyPassenge...]

(fully) de-restricted ive been told (by a reliable sourse) that the DT125's are caperble of reaching 95+, even 100 on a good day! But you will only find out, if you fit a seperate speedo (one which gives a reading about 80mph)

btw i havent tried this as i have got a DT (yet) but i soon will be!

my nephew has an 05 dtx with a dep system and not much else.
and it will do about 85 with him down on the tank.
he only weighs about 6 stone too(probably a lot more but us fatties still call him stick boy )

Thoguht the MX would take more due to it useing the RS125 engine? So ive been told?
