Long distance touring on a 2012 CBF125
Basically, I have a 2012 CBF 125 brand new sitting here, and I want to start touring. I've extensive camping and hiking experience etc, and I've done many multi day trips abroad like that, but never riding. My basic question is will my CBF 125 be able to hold a couple of panniers, a top box, and myself with a pack? I'm not heavy (11 stone) and not particularly tall.
I love 125's and I've rode many bigger bikes but nothing feels as good as these little 125's to me, I can never explain what it is. But the CBF125 is my final choice for doing this. I might stretch to the Vandero if this is really out of it's ability.
My goal for this summer is to ride from London to mount Olympus, Greece, and back again. Camping the whole time. Any advice/recommendations are more than welcome, but my main question/concern, is mounting a couple of panniers, a top box, and myself on the bike, and wether this is even feasible?
Thanks in advance guys, and my apologies if this is the wrong section, english is not my first language.
