Is this the engine you are recommending?

The main reason I wanted to stick with 125 ccs is anything over 125 ccs, requires a motorcycle licence.

Of course I could always get one but when I took my driver's test back in 1986, it was nothing. I just walked into the Mall (seriously) and a state trooper got in the car with me and 30 minutes later I had my licence. I already had my learner's permit so I didn't have to retake the 20 multiple question test over again.
Now you have to make an appointment, get to the office at 3 am (depending upon which county) to get a place in line, then wait all day long to get a driver's or motorcycle licence. Just not worth my time. Most likely due to the population explosion, state spending cuts (less people), and the state combining other applications at the same office. Like half the people waiting in line are there to get a concealed weapons permit!
At any rate, my friend says his Honda CT110 4 speed semi-automatic will go 45 mph on flat land. Of course I could just buy one of these but a good one sells for a pretty penny.
I just wanted to build something to tool around town in and ride back and fourth to work occasionally on weekends when I am 100% it's not going to rain. I needs to go at least 45 mph on flat land and 30 mph up most hills.
I don't need something with allot of metal between my legs!
I'm going to give that motorcycle junkyard a call. If I were looking for a used 125 cc engine from a Japanese bike, what would be a good one to look for?
