UK to Gambia on two XR125s?
Im beginning to think about doing my first transcontinental trip.
Ive previously ridden around Europe and England on my Triumph Street Triple but have always dreamt of going further.
I'm 24, 8 years exp riding on road, 2 years competing in MX and a professional bike mechanic by trade.
My girlfriend has around 2 years experience on a Honda CBR125 and she wants to come along. She's only 5'5 and slim so a tall 650 would be too much for her.
I have narrowed my choices down to either Honda XR125s or Honda City Fly 125s.
What are people's experiences of 125s in Northern Africa and would they stand up to the conditions? How challenging is the riding and could you get away without a tent?
