The slowest bike I have will GPS over 30mph easy, I have 66cc engines and my fastest right now is 39MPH and the slowest is around 35mph
the kit supplied exhaust is the main problem with many peoples speeds not being that great, along with a badly tuned carb. if the carb is tuned right and the exhaust flow is freed up I think all the kits will push a bike 30mph pretty easy, some are reporting 40+mph with just a few simple mods and a much smaller rear sprocket.
Peace

That's what I thought, all I've done to mine is remove all the welding slag from the exhaust near the flange and open it up to match the port . I refused to give up on the cns carb. I have got it running as good as I think possible, 35 mph last sat. on a slight downhill was way fast enough for me.

Thinner tires are great if you're on mostly pavement- 1.75 width make a world of difference compared to 2.25- you can feel it in the pedal too, and they're much lighter
Theres even some Michelin 1.4 widths and such out there- not quite as rugged- 1.75 still seems to generally have as much height and rubber thickness as cruiser tires- they roll faster and with less vibration- not so "classic looking" I guess
