I second what Joe said.
We rode that route in July, two up on a CG125 1982 model, and had no problems. The heat got to the bike a little bit, as we were pretty overloaded, but we would just rest for a while when it felt like it was overheating.
Most of the bikes in Turkey, Syria and Jordan are just copies of the Cg anyway, so they are very easy to get fixed if anything goes wrong.
It's the way forward.
As for panniers, Oxford First Times are great for a 125, tough and you can pick them up on ebay for less than thirty quid.
