yeah man you can surely do it on a 125cc discover ... with all the precautionary measures taken as stated above ... but just make sure your bike is not max tuned towards mileage or anything ... coz my bro's star city is tuned such and it really panics on the highway after 50kph ...the engine really suffocates . so if you have no such tuning , you can go ahead ... -
Had done a 260km round trip on a Discover 112CC. The only problem faced was strained engine after 100 odd kms, verdict is simple, ride the bike at no more than 80% of max speed and enjoy the ride, Discover is a delightful bike with very relaxed riding position!

You can do any number of kilometers given both the man and the machine are not stretched off their limits.Just ride as long as you feel comfortable and do take breaks in between.Btw, click on my siggy if you are interested abt the trip.
Also one of the xbhpian(moeed) did a 800km in 11 hrs riding a 100cc Platina!!
So nothing is impossible!!

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.

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....Leave a 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.Leave a comment:

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 PostLeave a comment:
