I very, very much doubt that; 70mph would be good going for almost ANY four stroke 125... and the vision 110, isn't even 110cc! It only makes a 'claimed' 8.3bhp! And reviews suggest that the top speed is only 'about' 50mph!
Common error, is to presume speedo's read MPH when in fact they are calibrated in KMH, which happens with a lot of Chinky bikes and imports... good chance that a pizza delivery 'fleet' are foreign market models with click speedo's, which could account for it.
B-U-T, the short answer is that with an 8bhp air-cooled four-stroke engine, it was NEVER going to better 70mph!! They are NOT after-market restricted! They are slow a-bludy-nuff as stock!
If they actuallyu manage a 'genuine' 60mph, then they are not restricted! Are you sure that it hasn't been 'tuned'?
Specs seem to suggest its the old C90 lump bored out, as used in many pit bikes for which there are an awful lot of go
-faster goodies, like water-cooled four valve cylinder heads... now that offers intregue... a full-on 180-cc, four valve liquid cooled pit bike motor with gears, in something that looks like it aught to have a pizza on the pillion! lol. ____________________ My Webby'Tef's-tQ, loads of stuff about my bikes, my Land-Rovers, and the stuff I do with them!
