Top ride and well told report. Your partner deserves all the credit for approving your questionable ideas ;)

Those CB125 are great for what they are. Seen a few touring out on the dusty trails.

I know a guy who had an unfortunate experience with his CB125F. His motor started smoking on a trip up from SA to NSW. Apparently burnt one or more of his piston rings. His airbox was full of oil :confused:

I heard those bikes no longer have a starter and instead uses the stator to crank the bike over. Nifty.

My 50cc Honda Z50 went a maximum of 25 MPH!
I'm aware of these awesome rides. However, they are completely irrelevant to the ride I did as they were not on dirt. Robert's Bun Burner was also a 36 hour ride. He also did some great rides on a 125 including a 50CC but not on dirt.

Impressive indeed, but those are 2 strokes, more bangs per cc.

Does give new meaning to being on the pipe.
