From what I know, a 125 GP bike has a power output of around 50BHP and is capable of over 120mph. It would appear these bikes are somewhat slower. If not, those kinds of figures above are too high for a 12 year old on a bike in 2010.

Just another point. I had a look at Peter Lenz' website and it appears he's had a number of injuries racing, including a broken leg, despite only doing it for a very short length of time. It would add weight to the argument that this kind of bike racing is too dangerous for kids of that age.

Finally, irrespective of whether its right or wrong for kids to be racing bikes, the death of a 13 year old is an horrific tragedy of the highest order and my deepest sympathies go out to his family whose lives have been literally destroyed forever.
