KTM 495/500. Dirt bike clocked one at 123+ mph. The 500 put out a solid 65HP. Acording to rick "Super Hunky" Seiman: "The fastest real dirt bike ever was the KTM 495. When I was editor of Dirt Bike, we geared one to the moon and had Rod Bush do 123.75 miles per hour on El Mirage Dry Lake with that particular bike. I believe the year was 1981. I have not heard of any other true stock ...

Didn't they make 11 of the 500 twin? MXA actually had a "Old Iron" feature on it not too long ago. So awesome!

Here's a 2008 update on the actual article. To be fair the engine had been "massaged" a little bit and an internal gear change took place as well as sprockets. Here's the article.

"Two markers were set up and...
