C90 Adventures shows just how to tour massive distances on a low powered bike. https://c90adventures.co.uk/ I did some big Scotland tours on my 125cc and was quite happy. Even now, with a 1000cc bike, I am happy cruising at 50ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Westerly Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 So masochism is obviously still a thing in the UK? Husoi better keep clear, there's no telling what these weird buggers will get up to. Personally I'll stick with moderately large engined and comfortable bikes. Long past the time of enduring pain for fun. About 62 years past.

The Hitcher Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 On 04/01/2021 at 09:40, dynax said: The biggest issue with 125's are that most don't have the max bhp allowed, if you look at the specs most are around 10 bhp, some are around 12 but very few actually have the full 15bhp. What would make sense would be to increase the limit to around 18bhp and actually have it there to use. I feel a bit sorry for teen riders these days, my 30+ BHP 125 felt epic back in the day and smelt better . To be fair though the newer 4 stroke ones are much less likely to go bang!. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
