Thanks warin
I'm definitely not going to be flogging it.. I'm going to try and take it as easy as possible when it comes to acceleration and stopping. All up the bike will be carrying me (85kg) my back pack (22kg) and my camera bag (8kg) all up around 115kg. It's hard to say how high I will go as I don't quiet know the route but it's the Andes so I'd say any where from 4,000-6,000.
As far as servicing goes I was thinking around every 1,500 possibly 1,200 if it's been ridden hard.
I'm looking at it like this: I need a bike to go at least 100km on a highway (can a 125 do that with that much weight, easily?) and be reliable enough I don't have to worry about forking out money every other day to fix something. (Euromot reliable enough?) I know I'm going to come across problems here and there but not every second day break downs.
