A moped with 300cc should be able to scoot pretty well and even hit speeds around 90mph. That is if it is geared to do so.  I have to say, I looked at that scooter and the engine doesn't look big enough to have a true 300cc engine.

It was just plucked from a google - but that was the claim. And it doesn't look a whole lot different than the bike I rode around the island, except for color. 

I never maxed it out, but I would assume it had a governor. I mean, it was a rental. 
 
 

I don't trust riding a motorcycle.

One little move over and the motorcycle rider is dead.

Heck, my high school buddy's 125 honda could do 60+.  First motorcycle I ever rode. Fell in love with motorcycles after that!

It did sixty carryng a child. I doubt it would do that carrying an adult - though I cannot claim to know. 

I had regular access to a honda 100 when I was 14 - I believe that it would do sixty with me on it back then. I cannot really remember - but it went as fast as I wanted it to go.

That's what I was thinking too.  This 125 went as fast as I wanted it to go, and 60 was it.  Could it have gone faster?  Don't know.  My friend had to move to an area zoned for a black high school.  He needed to keep going to the white (mostly) high school, so his mom bought him that bike to ride to my house.  Then, because I had a car, I drove him and some others to school every day.  He didn't like that bike very much - he'd have to ride it when it was cold.  I did have a heart and would pick him up if it was raining. 
 

Here's a liberal motorcycle for you:
SUICIDE CYCLEI'm thinking those front breaks are meant to let someone hit a wall at 160mph with little to no resistance.

Ok, I really need this motorcycle. No, I don't just want it, I NEEEEEEEEED it.... That bottle of nitrous must be just for looks, because, I can't imagine it actually making this scooter go any faster.

The Great Salt lake is drying up now!

Yeah, that USUALLY happens when a LAKE is in the middle of a DESERT!!

Imagine that.

this bike captures my sole. Nothing spectacular, but everything I like as something to ride around the block or cross country.

Now, that's an interesting little Motoguzzi.  I bet it performs great on banked, twisty mountain roads!!!

I borrowed a friend's motorcycle, a larger Motoguzzi to ride in the mountains of North Carolina.  It was a dream to ride. Then, we swapped and I rode a 500cc dirt-bike converted into a super-motard.  It outperformed the larger Motoguzzi.  So, this bike you like - I'm thinking it would take the twisties like a freaking champ.

It is the first watercooled engine moto Guzzi ever produced for the public. It isn't overpowered with 115 BHP and around 80 torque. I look for comfort, low maintainence, potential reliability, that shaft drive machines has.

It is a bike best fitting what I want a motorcycle to do for me, other, to each their own. When left alone by everyone else I leave everyone else alone.

that ended july 2006. I fight psycholgical class warefare same way it is implemented towards me from 6 degrees of deflections. Balance of power eternally separated brain matching wits with mentalities trying to cover up living as eternally separated in plain sight.

Screw all that crap. Give me a motocross bike.

earn your own. Economics is supposed to [provide equal opportunity for each person to earn what they need and want within reason life never exceeds being part of the population left living forward now.

If you won't balance naturally, why would you try to balance intellectually pretending to be more than you actually are?
