I've been riding a little yam xt 125 around recently as its quite a good way of doing the government out of money as it uses so little fuel..
Done a 200 mile round trip on couple of months back rather than taking van,bigger xt or 350 lc and it was fine..
By chance I acquired a cbr125 last year and used that for a bit and was astounded,it wasn't unbearable on the motorway,would overtake the lorries and would do 100mpg if rode it right.
If I didn't have too many things on the go already and fancied something homemade I would stick a cbr motor in a small traily,goes a bit better than the xt and has 6 gears,and the one I owned had 32,000miles on it,didn't burn oil or smoke and went fine,sold it on ebay for a good little profit to a bike dealer who didn't seen bothered by the mileage.?
I have toyed with doing my next trip on little xt rather than bigger xt?
