How fast can a 125cc motorcycle go, and how economical are they?

Question

I am wondering whether to use a 125cc scooter for commuting 8 miles each way, mainly on a 50mph road with an incline, and on a national speed limit dual carriageway for around quarter of a mile.

Would a 125cc motorcycle be suited for this? I also live in quite a hilly area, but all the hills are 30mph limits - would a scooter be able to handle this?

Also, would using this sort of scooter use up a lot of fuel?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Max speed of 125cc is around 95kmph... mileage around 40..

Answer 2

More speed - less average.

Mine is Bajaj Boxer 125CC. Gone to 102 KM/Hour. the average was 40K/Ltr.

The same i drove on 38 -42KM/Hour. Average was 112KM/Hr.

Usually i get 70KM/Hr  

Hope this will help you a lot to understand the way mileage shown in Advertisement on TV.
