  • Battling suboptimal weather and thwarted by slower cars, can I fight the forces of physics and prove the Monkey is a Highway Mile Muncher? There's a lot of wind noise and the video is date/time stamped but we are at the cutting edge of performance. Never have I ridden a 125cc machine so fast.

    The weather was a big grim for a ride I bet you still had a good time. I like Ynys Mon especially Amlwch ,Cemaes ,Benllech,Aberffraw( the race circuit ) and Llanfairpwllgwyngyll... then a nice ride home over the bridge , off the A55 for the A5 for Bethesda ,Betws-y-coed to Corwen turn off at the lights at the Rhug estate for A5104 and A525 for Wrecsam I don't go back down the A55 in silly season which is now school hol's it's full of tourists at the end of the day there is so many ways to get back to Wrexham and I love those different ways a lot more to see and less traffic. Happy riding mate😀😀🏍🏍🏍🚗🚗👍👍👍

      You’re absolutely spot on with that route. It’s great. I was up by Aberffraw and Rhosneigr yesterday. The seas were amazing. Almost like winter.
      Happy riding to you too😊😊

      It is only by exploring the boundaries that we can find where they might lie. I might make more attempts to exceed the staggering result. Especially as you enjoyed it I think I must . Coming next…streamlining, no baggy clothes. Maybe a longer steeper hill with a strong tailwind 😂😂😂.
      Glad you liked my silliness 👍👍😊😊

    No matter the motorcycle, those that are brave enough, know the top speed of that bike.
    It is always fun to find the top speed of any vehicle.

    New 125s are astonishing with fuel injection and some at 12bhp. My old honda 90s and 125cc used to be 45 flat out but I’ve ridden an sh 125 which cruised at 60 and reached about 67 on the clock. Still astounding fuel consumption too. My first underage motorcycle was a c70 and barely reached 30mph in the lanes totally illegally😝.

      When instructing I had the "pleasure" of riding a brand new moped for a pupil. It was of indeterminate oriental manufacture. Its frame was probably made from a couple of coathangers, it had brakes...apparently but I never found them oh and performance? flat out was just - JUST - eventually 24.5mph. It was almost enough to put anyone off bikes for life!
      But the rider loved it and was a credit to the cause
