No, but did France from Worksop on a motley collection of 70's 6v C90s and C70s, a YB100 and an NSU Quickly in the early 80s.

That was last century though, so it doesn't count.

I thought same when saw new forza 125 had electric screen .

I've got the Sym which got all stuff to do a rear drum to disc upgrade on .Can do few trial runs loaded up .

I've never considered doing a continental tour on a 125 or anything under 200cc. Although I toured Britain extensively on my CD175 back in the day and camped for several months after I came out of the army (long after National Service was abolished, I'm not that old! ). So it would definitely be a fun thing to do. I did have to go all over europe with my job but did that on Burgman 650's and GSX1400's. Rather different, and to be honest, if you are not in too much of a hurry a 200cc machine or under would be much more fun I reckon.

It is Data It is:
That is why i said you have to firstly get the grey cells in line and the head on straight for the trip.

I undertook a trip from Loch Lomond to Shetland on a Yamaha YBR125 a few years ago - I was attending the simmer dim annual motorcycle rally and I was carrying full camping gear - patience is key when undertaking such a journey

I can do quite a bit of the initial 180 miles on A roads, then the ferry to Holland, but the problem comes from getting through the Netherlands motorway system before being able to get off the beaten track. Comfort is my main concern but I've done it on bikes several times and it's not really that far.

If you use a twat-nav the latest models have facilty to avoid major roads,but be warned you may end up on some green lanes (hard work on the burgman)

You need to cruise at max speed for trucks or they will try and push you along especially in Germany.Some 2 lane sections trucks can only use lane 1 at certain times .We had lot of abuse off trucks on way to Croatia in mk4 transit with vespa on back which was very slow .

That's what I miss ridding on the other side my sh 125i would be great lots m.p.g and big range approx. 170 miles,and I am way down in kent so roughly 1 hour from dover/and the train.

Be nice to see group on small scooters doing a trip like C90 guys do .
Mainly as I have one
