    think it through mate and it will come to you

    hint. a 172 makes more power then a 125 the 125 bits are designed for a 125

    slightly....... around 10mph.. not enough on there own and too much wiht a gear up, waste of time (unless you have a stock 125 pipe and a tame 172 road engine....)
