Does this makle sense, it seems impossible:
A 125 engine at 10,000 rpm thats
10,000 revolutions per minute
10,000 revolutions per 60 seconds
166 revolutions per second
plug fires 166 times a second
Doesn't sound possible, what am I missing?

when i was 12 my dad told me to put my thumb on the end of the spark plug when he kicked the kick starter and tell him if it was sparking.
my dad was a dick back then.

I hear they now have RC car motors that do 40-50,000 RPM!? Last RC car I listened to sounded like a whistle.
The Irony... We now have a motor that is TWICE the displacement of a 125 with 157 MORE moving rotating parts that runs 14,000? that REALLY boggles my small mind. Can 233 rotations per second be good on all those valves and springs and chains all clankin around at that speed? ...in the dirt, the arch enemy of high RPM motors.
Maybe we've crossed the not so fine line for MX.
In the sixties. Think about that.
125 and 250 six in this vid. Imo, by FAR the best sounding motorcycles ever.

The current Honda V8 breathes through downdraft throttle bodies. The 2012 Honda will get a big assist from twin turbos.
