I would think you would get about 70ish out of it. Depending on hills, headwinds, restrictions......how low you get your head down!!!  |

By the looks of it, its no different to the XR125.
I'm doing my test on one at the moment and to be honest, its quite powerless. Gets to 50mph quite easy then feels like its lost its grunt at about 55ish. I imagine it'll get to about 60 at most.
Still nice bikes to ride.  ____________________ Aprilia RSV Mille R Edwards Replica - Aprilia RS250 - Suzuki GSXR600 Supersport Race Bike |

XRs are all about the go under 50mph. From there til 65 tops, it takes an eternity - best not meet an incline. I guess with trail bikes, it's not about the top speed, but useability, practicality and robustness. My XR can barely manage 70, but if you want more info, feel free to PM me.
EDIT
Okay, general personal opinionson how the bike rides:
Good pickup in 3rd gear from 35-45mph - useful for overtaking cars in 30-40 zones
poor 1st gear - incorrectly spaced ration means that there's a characteristic trail bike style gap in power when you switch from 1st to 2nd
It's OK to do clutchless gearchanges on it!
Wheelies are quite pathetic - can only pop but can't sustain due to lack of power and insufficient time to sort out balance point
The rear tyre has too much grip to execute burnouts on dry tarmac - possible in wet roads and mud!
The rear rack can carry up to 10 kgs - carried a 30x30x50cm box on it before with relative eas
Insurance is cheap on TPO - 400 quid for student in London
It is possible to get your knee down on this bike, i've tried but not hard enough
A honda mechanic told me that it's possible to ride this bike to death without servicing due to the bulletproof CG engine - 100,000 miles possible
Choke is very annoying to get to and NEED choke to start in this time of year
So i guess that's the highlights about this bike, PM for more info

A honda NXR 125 won't be just a fraction slower than a DT125, it'll be half the power.
A DTR (naughtily) de-restricted will easily do 85mph in a couple of hundred yards and be genuinely useful off the road with no more than a set of knobblies.
The NXR is more of an off road style commuter, reliable and good on petrol.
The DTR is more of a toy.
Personally I've not ridden a NXR, but I've rode similar bikes (4 stroke 125 off roaders) and owned a DTR.
I'd recommend ride both, preferably a derestricted DTR, and make your mind up then.
edit
The NXR ain't gonna be any faster than the Suzuki DR125 I rode, that did 72mph, but only just. You might get 80mph downhill, tailwind and laid flat on the tank, but you'd look daft.
A friend of mine used to have an N reg Honda SL125, that also did about 70mph. |

my current bike's a moped, due to lack of CBT and a full car licence, it does 75mph with me sat upright.
It WAS supposed to be 6bhp, don't know what it is now.  |

The NXR 125 is THE best 125cc 4 stroke you can buy. it sure as hell craps on the cbr 125 on looks.
I have one, mine is an 09 electric start, but its pretty much the same bike as the older models.
its awesome, speed wise its not really meant to go over 90km/h (55ish MPH) altho it can go upto 130(80MPH) you'll just kill it.
around 55 you'll be ok and you dont really need to go faster, because if you did you wouldnt be getting a 125cc.
i will recommend this bike highly to anyone who is thinking of getting one.
here is a page with more info.
