when you are chasing speed, enough is never enough, even 10 sec 1/4s get average. What speed you getting out of the 70?

my advice is don't do it, as if you get caught, after the courts have had their pound of flesh, it will leave you in an uninsurable situation, finacially anyway.

One way to experience a faster bike, is to buy an off road bike/track bike, and ride it off the road.

What you do is wait until you're old enough and buy a 125. Conversions are bodge.

Lots of topics on this already so locked.
