push bikes
Dave any of the around 250cc trailie bikes will suffice as long as you change the gearing more suited to road duties. as for the 125. honda CG, suzuki GS or similar will be fine for the mrs. |

Re: Name me some bikes with these requirements
You won't get 70 from a Honda CG. The best I got out of mine was 65mph and that was running flat out on Tesco 98 octane. Probably what caused the gudgeon pin to rip out the bottom of the piston.
