    does anyone know what the top speed of a wre is as mine just hits the power valve in 6th gear at 50mph and its screaming, i dont want to take it higher incase it goes bang.

    i dont want to be able to go 100mph but its a bit slow on the road going from one trail to another?

    Most 125cc dirt / Enduro bikes top out at about 65mph. Some as high as 70 mph and some as slow as 55-60mph. Most of mine have topped 65mph. My Penton 125 would to 70, my 5 speed Zundapp and Hodaka would only top 55mph. My Suzuki PE125 would top 65mph, My Husky WR125 (1982) would top 65mph as would my Hercules 6 and 7 speeds.
    You can cruise a 125 at about 40-45mph fairly safely.

    the funny thing about the wre gearbox and power characteristics is that the topspeed does not change much when altering the final gear ratio. you can improve acceleration, but you cannot improve topspeed.
