    Had an old KS125 Kawasaki that I used to commute on a 60 mile highway round trip back in college days but it was mostly a woods bike otherwise. I never took any long trips on it but folks have done some amazing long trips on small bikes.

    Wouldn't surprise me if someone had ridden an XR125 around the world. It just takes patience.

    I had a 125 HOnda and did 300 mile days with time to spare, too bad I no longer have it. Also I have read about a couple going around on there 125 Yamahas so it is posible, out side the US 125 is a great bike, ok maybe the Autoban in germany is not so friendly but a 125 is light great on gas and low tech, so what more could you ask for?

    I did about 120 miles on my XL125 back in the '80s. Not to bad @ 50 - 60 mph.

    I know there has been a lot of people go around Australia on the old CT110.

    I know of at least one that has gone from Sydney to London (two up).

    I'd be surprised if a sub 125cc bike hasn't gone around the world.
