My brother failed his motorcycle test because his motorcycle wasn't capable of maintaining a speed near the single carriageway legal limit.

It was roadworthy. It just wasn't capable of 60mph. Since you can only take the test on a 125 with less than 15bhp, 60mph isn't that far below the maximum of most of those bikes. He's 6'5", and his bike was a 100cc. It's not difficult to see how 60 would have been ambitious, even before any loss of power through the bike being a bit aged.
