It's not a small bike! It is Yamaha, in fact the YBR has traveled around the world on more than one occasion, even traveling more than 170,000 kilometers without opening the engine, a true warrior.
Its funny how people think its hard to do long adventures with a 125cc those people probably like to arrive at their destination quickly but they dont realise that its an adventure not a race, youre supposed to discover places you never saw before, people travel around the world with a normal bicycle or even on foot, so i just think that this 125cc bashing is bullshit, you mate are awesome keep this stuff up and dont stop, it doesnt matter what kind of vehicle you use for something you want to do.
I totally agree. I traveled from Montreal, Canada to Los Angeles on a 125cc scooter. 6000 km in 18 days. It was a dream since I was a child. I went to Indianapolis, Memphis, Dallas, EL Paso, Tucson, Phoenix, Los Angeles.....and all the small cities in between.....all small roads.....the best road trip ever....Now planning Montreal to Costa Rica...... slowly means taking time to see things
I just came back from a 23 day, 6854 km tour around most of Thailand. It was great ! On my Honda Wave 100 cc, which is more than 18 years old and has 377,000km
RESPECT !!!!!!. i have a BAJAJ discover 100cc (technically 94cc) and did tour across whole south India thrice. hope to hit 100000km mark in my next trip
Honda Dream 100 is famous here in Phillippines in the 90s&early 2000,I already toured some parts of our country with my 1999 Kawasaki HDIII/KC 125 cc,2 stroke engine..Byaherong Makaluma my YT channel.
Wow ! Big respect for this dude! I admire the adventure. People talking about 125cc are just people with a complex. This is a life experience and not a race! And who cares you can drive 140 km/h while anyways most of the village roads are limited between from 70 to 100 max (when you can)...! Plus there is nothing to discover and enjoy when you are on high speed. Big respect for this guy and let me know if u would like someone to join you for a new adventure . I am from Vienna as well and got a Suzuki VanVan 125 ready to explore :)
PaulADV absolutely right, I totally agree; Too much Big Bike snobbery going-on these days. This vlog reminds me of that guy who travelled around Asia and Canada on a Honda Cub c90 (I think his name was Ed March?). The real 'adventures' are those not taken via the Autobahn, in fact the best/genuine adventures are usually the ones manifested from a poorly planned trip!!
@Daniel Stafford really awesome and great road trip I really love bikes And love to travel on bikes 125 cc are the most capable And light weight 😎😎😎😎😍😍😍😘😘😘
Here in Pakistan...we have so many mountains in 7000-8000 m range that authorities have even stopped naming them...we have some of the toughest terrains and roads...europe on the other hand has its highest peak at only 5600 m..and roads are way better..yet still in Pakistan people tour mostly on 125cc-150cc bikes and I have even seen people touring on 70cc mopeds with huge luggage...its the 'heart' that matters
Heart, but also budget and roads. A lighter, smaller bike will do much better in terrain like Pakistan, it's more simple to fix by yourself, and if that's what the average person is riding - that's what you'll ride. I tried my share of "small-displacement touring" when I rented a 125 to ride 1100 km in England and Wales - the biggest issue wasn't the bike, but the traffic around it that was going much faster, making you the slowest vehicle on the road, causing traffic behind you up mountains as you creep up steep hills going full throttle at 50 kph. A 250-300cc bike would've made a world of difference. Different horses for different courses, I suppose.
@@BassOutcast RE Himalayan. Simple mechanics, 411cc 25HP, cheap mileage, and totally suitable on and offroad. Might it be the best as a humble, simple and cheap; and yet seriously prepared adventurer for the whole globe?
It's not a big expensive machine that makes the trip memorable, it's the love for travelling. A good and healthy vehicle is all it takes, but every penny you can save on it will definitely carry you a much longer distance!
Totally respect ...i simply just love the concept of going on a big adventure on a small bike....i wish i had the balls like you to do it .....so much respect
you just need to go out and do it :) i was also not sure about doing this trip, and camping outside at first was very strange and unnatural to me. but than you start to like it, and every single night alone in the tent is more fun than the previous one. do it and it will change your life for the better (no more fear)
Ok, i got a short story for yall, this video alone was the one that started my "quest" to get my hands on a motorcycle, i had my bike for about 5 months now, and i absolutely love it, i go everywhere whit it and i feel really confortable riding it. I nearly had a stroke right now when i discovered that the bike the guy was using is the same bike i bought "sym xs 125k"
Eldad MAT which bike is that? Was it right during all trip? No mechanical failures? Can you make video how you prepared the bike and yourself for the trip?
Damn, checked the specs of your bike (8kW and 10.9 hp). It’s the same like my KSR GRS 125, so no reason for me anymore not to do a holiday with it. Great work!
what a good review I have enjoyed a lot watching your videos You will excuse me but I would like to ask you a question, currently there are many 125cc motorcycles, I am looking for a current one from this year or the next, could you recommend a model that you know is reliable and can do long routes?
You are awsome! It looks like a great trip! I sold my XRV750 and replaced it by XR400. Last time I was thinking: "It may be too small, there is no wind protection...". But it looks like I have only problem with my head, not with the bike.
i love how people travel with all types of motorcycle, not just a "adventure" motorcycle only.. because it's not about the bike, it's about the willing to do it
Excellent punch in the nose to BMW/AfricaTwin/Tenere type bikes costing ten times more, two and a half times the weight, four times the maintenance costs, almost impossible to pick up after a drop, and arguably no more pleasure. The key is in the word "adventure". No Land Rover backup. Kudos due!
Marcus Follosco It really depends on the needs. If you're going to eastern Europe or Asia/Africa where many roads aren't well build then yes, a 125-250cc will do (preferably a dual-sport). In western countries with higher speed limits and better roads you're better off AT LEAST on a 250 that can handle the speed limit without holding anyone behind you.
@Tomas de Torquemada Because small bikes takes you places huge monsters such as the biggest BMW's and ktm's can't. Also you could pick it up no matter how exhausted. Cheap and easy repairs too that you can manage on your own. That's why.
Great video! I did almost the same :) I went on the silk road from Europe till China with a Honda NC 750 X, without any issues :) videos will be coming soon on my channel
Thank you for posting this! I am dreaming about adventure biking and I had the same idea of buying a smaller bike. But have zero experience and have yet to get my licence.

Amazing and dare to chalence with small machine (125 cc) but it is splendid idea for everyone to use ordinary machine to conqure the world.
What an epic adventure. Hats off to you mate. Great vid too.
thanks man. it was an Epic adventure indeed ;)

How did you get home ? :)
Probably on 2 wheels🤷♂️
well, you taught me that we don't need big ADV bikes to have amazing journey ;)

after many videos on youtube about motocycyle trips which I have seen, my decision is; you are the hero.
