There is a road version of many cylinders where the ports aren't quite as advanced and they come with 2 ring pistons etc for the road. They're by no means an old, crappy design but they're certainly not the race cylinders everyone imagines when you hear "aftermarket Derbi cylinder". I did a bit of research into this area before I bought a RS125 and everything became irrelevant.
A KE/derbi cylinder engine is far from the MX85 argument too. Although Kel would no doubt absolutely destroy me on a RS/KE/derbi, I personally wouldn't have a problem with it given how much effort is required, which makes buckets so much fun.
