Riding at 'high' speeds?

I have only just started my full licence training, and i have yet to crack 60mph. I've reached 50mph on a single carriageway. I found this speed quite high, there was a lot of wind and it's not all that stable.
I was wondering what it is like to ride at 70mph compared to 50?
I'm training on a CG125 and i will be doing my test on it.

on a modern sports bike its the same only faster, my bike feels more stable the faster you go.

On a bigger bike you'll hardly notice the difference between 70 and 50, the SV cruises totally effortlessly at 70 and higher, even bigger bikes will do big numbers at a canter in total stability and calmness. Naked bikes are a bit different, but you get used to it.

I imagine a CG will struggle to crack 70 and it might not be so effortless

try doing 80 on a yamaha YBR and its something that will come will time especially on smaller bikes

The only time I notice the difference riding at warp speed is when I've been sat at 90 ...cough 70...on the mway, and when you come down and rejoin normal traffic flow......and its reeeeeallly slow!

Not that you've ever gone more than 70, Kwak, you law-abiding person, you!

Believe you me, Magnum, once you get on a 'proper' bike, 50 will seem like you're crawling

Is the CG particularly unstable then? Because it really didn't feel solid over 40 with it's skinny wheels and no wind resistance.

in better weather the tyres grip brilliantly but its hit and miss at the moment

It feels a lot faster on a 125- I remember doing 50 on mine, and I was screaming. Now happily go a lot faster, but on the sv it feels fine and very stable.
