We all know that 50cc bikes are pretty heavily restricted to bring them in line with British law.
Does anyone know if 125 bikes restricted in any way? I'm only asking because I was chatting to a bike mechanic recently who mentioned that Large Hondas (750cc+) used to have washers in their exhaust pipes when new which brought them into line with UK noise/power regs. These washers would strangely "disappear" at the 1st service, unleashing a little more power. The exhaust on my baron is as thin as a rat's willy, and will certainly be replaced when it/thewarranty wears out. I wondered whether there may be any other restrictions that anyone knows about?
I'm not intending to go drag racing but if there was another (say) 5mph in the bike for free it would be nice to have it.
