Can i ride my 125cc Honda Bros on the highway?

[Izcariot]

I know I know you´re going to say NO because in most countries it is illegal to ride small bikes in highways and interstates, BUT in the beatiful although lawless Mexican Caribbean this isn´t a problem.

So, the question should actually be: "Can i ride my 125cc Honda Bros on the highway @ 45-55 MPH under 70-90° and 70% humidity without pushing the engine too far?"

I´m planning to do one hour trips into the jungle or to the southern beaches, let the bike rest for a while, wander around in the bike, then let it cool again and head back to the city.

This is a pic of the bike. It´s a 2006 Honda Bros, the smaller Honda DS offered throughout LatinAmerica, sadly not in the U.S. It´s similar to the YTZ 125 Yamaha although less torquey.



and these are some pics of the roads I´ll be dealing with.







I guess what I´m trying to figure out here is how can I tell when the bike is overheating (since my board is really simple). And how can I cool it effectively.

Besides, are there any other issues besides overheating my bike that I should be aware of (tyres, engine or brakes efficiency reduction, etc.)

I haven´t pushed my bike to these roads since I don´t want to end up in the middle of nowhere stucked with a blown engine.

But I really want to, since I would probably find sth like this:



Nahh, actually it´s more probable that i find these instead:



Any help would be appreciated with a CouchSurf to a fellow rider. Thanks!!

I don't see why that bike would have any problems doing what you want...Sounds like fun...Take pics...

I did exactly that while I was in Costa Rica on a borrowed Chinese Honda knock off. Rode two up with the GF for hours on end, and the only thing I had to worry about was the crappy rear disc brake sticking and heating up.

Do It.
