Say for example a 125cc motorcycle with 6 gears has a top speed of about 75mph, why can’t they make it with 7 gears and surely that’d increase the top speed?

Imagine you’re pedaling your bike, if you keep shifting to higher gears it gets harder to pedal, your legs don’t magically become stronger.
Eventually if you had a ton of gears you wouldn’t be able to push the pedals hard enough.
You’d just be pushing really hard and the pedals would be moving really slow, but your bike wouldn’t be going any faster, in fact you’d start to slow down.
