ROFL! Actually you can do that at some rallies, just to see how fast your scoot can go! And some of the early land speed records were set on scooters... don't think my Lamby will be doing that though, top speed of about 60, my Vespa does 65 (70 or so downhill with the wind behind it!) Not bad at all for 125s, they are generally slower than motorbikes due to all the steel-plate bodywork - my Vespa weighs well over 200lbs with all the chrome racks and bars on it. A 200cc scooter will generally reach speeds of about 80mph.
Scooterists aren't generally obsessed with speed the way some bikers are - bikes go fast, scooters are for posing - and no-one can see how cool you look if you go too fast!
