how important it is to feel strong,
rather than just being strong.

Query Moved and Approved.
I do not see a single reason why it is not possible. Just service the bike properly, and take it wherever you want to. I don't think there will be ANY issues at all.

More than the bike its the rider that usually has troublesOriginally posted by paths_of_glory View Post
your bike will do fine carry a spare spark plug and other things you will need. Have a safe tripComment

But the problem with the 125cc bikes is that you'll feel that the engine is strained after riding it for long at speeds of 85 KM/H or above..."The trouble with the rat race is that even if you win, you're still a rat" - Lily TomlinComment

125 cc tour
I own a Discover 125. It runs fine but i agree it will strain on a 1500 km run, do you intend to do the run quickly covering max km per day den on highway i would suggest a little bit of sprocketing dropping a teeth might relax the bike on a highwayOriginally posted by mithun View PostComment

There wont be any problems if the following precautions are taken.....
1 - Change the Engine oil before the Trip
2 - Service the Bike before the Trip
3 - Bike should be in stock conditions
4 - Do not ride her full throttle through out the Ride
5 - Leave a break of some 20 - 30 mts between 2 hours of continuous riding....Comment

Not an issue at all, if you know your bike's limits&yours&do not overdo them!Quench my thirst with gasoline!Comment

IMHO..
touring is not really about the constant high speeds. Its about enjoying what you do at what ever is comfortable for both you and your bike.
So 100 ...125..220...anything . You want it YOU do it.
like others said be sure to have certain important spares, like cables and plugs, and voila your ready.- You spend half your life before you realize your are ordinary, you then, either are too lazy to change or you do the extraordinary and change the world!

a friend of mine rode his splendor all the way to hyderabad from bangalore alone and he started the ride at 8pm and reached hyd for breakfast...
so u can happily do touring on a 125cc only thing is u should enjoy the ride...its not about cc's but how much u enjoy the ride, maybe higher cc bikes can go faster...but still any bike is capable of touring its all left to the rider....Comment

CC dont relly matter its the love and spirit and an engine and two wheels and brakes :-P
I had a nutty relative who rode down on TVS 50 or XL few years ago from Chennai to Bangalore.
This is Discover man, No worries.
