    I went from London to south Spain on a YBR125 (and back to London again) and it was so so crazy that I would've been crazy not to do a bike trip like that, because it was one of the best experiences of my life.
    To all 125cc riders... you set your limits. Our great little runners have no limits if you treat them with care. They can just eat up hundreds of miles.

    I once rode a piaggio nrg 50cc 2 stroke scooter from my house in Surrey all the way to Stroud in gloucestershire, then back. Was a 350mile round trip and spent 11hrs on the road but it felt like I just rode it to vietnam and back.

    Nice one dude, I just came across this. In 2016 I did Brighton > Lands End > John O Groats on a YZF-R125.... what an adventure it was, I was and still on L plates so I couldn't even take motorways, good times. Adventures are much more fun when you have the wrong vehicles in my opinion.

    Now that's some proper touring! 600 miles a day is about my limit, and I wouldn't want to do that distance more than a couple of days in a row. Just watching this made my knees sore.
    The advice about pulling over for a nap is solid. I once pulled over on the Isle of Skye and took a 15 minute nap on a nice cushy bog. The sun even came out. It was glorious.

I now remember the overtaking planning and the slow grind of a long, slow hill where the power slowly ebbed away. Also the sore arse... and I also used to scoot up onto the pillion just for a break!

    Having ridden over 50k on a Honda PCX, including a couple of 120 mile rides and 150 there and back, I know that 125s can knock out this mileage but it's very hard work, mile after mile with throttle pinned gets to the wrist. Fun on twisties though! Now got A2 auto licence (clutch control defeated me, never got the hang of it) & a bigger scoot is so much easier even for my 20 mile commute, and not much thirstier. Many chapeau Bruce, bet you slept well afterwards!

    Thoroughly enjoyed your video. I've just had a demo on one . So I've just bought one as I can't do my bike test until licence comes back from the DVLA . They reckon 5 months . Should of been on 900 adventure bike by now. But this little bike is great fun. 😁

  • @ianwarren8316

    Definitely reminded my of my year on a 125 2 years ago!
    Last year I upgraded to the luxury of a CBR650R and 94 BHP and this year I’ve spoiled myself with a Ducati Panigale V2 and 155 BHP!
    No need to back out of overtaking a lorry now but I loved the little 125cc Suzuki permanently pinned at max throttle!

    I took a 125 Varadero from South Yorkshire to Edinburgh and onto the Shetland Isles.
    They are a lot of fun! Sometimes I miss the 125 but the 650 VStrom I upgraded to certainly fixed that 🤣🤣
