    I use the discover 135 for touring, it has no issues at all. if you are using mineral oil, switching to a semi synthetic oil will let it cruise at 80-90 without over heating. the only problem with the discover is the seat is too narrow so you would need a break after 60-90 mins of riding.

      I also touched 115 Km/h on it in that trip with karizma....

      I love it and I feel very sad as I sold it for upgrading my bike to Royal Enfield Thunder bird.

      I love you Discover.....

        Does this mean that Yamaha 125cc cannot perform good on long tourings...

          If a Platina can do it, (ask Mooed, 800kms.in a day, he has been to Bangalore&Mysore also on it) I don't see any reason why a Discover cannot.
