Can I go to Auckland with a 125cc?

When I was 16, I rode my ER125 from Nelson to Auckland, I was away from home for 3 weeks, just cruising around the north island.... A lot of fun..!!!
Sure it's not as fast as most other bikes, but it would hold 100ks/hr as long as the head wind was not too strong...
oh .. And I didn't plan anything, as I had no idea how long it would take or the distance between places.. No GPS last century ....

i took wet weather gear, a couple of change of cloths and $$$$..( no efpos ) and a tent...

Took the wifes gn125 New Plymouth to Opua last weekend. Would probably never do it again but at least you don't have to stop for gas much. They have an awesome range. Hills no drama but trucks were a pig

The guy who bought my FXR150 rode it from Hamilton to Wellington, so I don't see why not!

The problem is that I have limited budget for motorcycle and I am a learner rider.

So on my list, GN125 is the first option. I know GN125 is a small and slow one but I think I can go.

If I go to Auckland, I will stop over Taupo and Hamilton.

What are you guys thinking about my idea?

Please give me your opinion and advices.

Thanks.

Yeah ... go ... no-one will laugh at you ...
