The small fuel tank would also restrict too much the range.

I don't have any issue with the 1.4 gallon tank on the Trail 125. That is likely enough for 100 miles of riding and strapping an extra 2 gallon tank to the seat when required is simple enough. (My 1996 Kawasaki ZX-7RR had a 5 gallon tank and a range of 110 miles)
My issue is the top speed. Here in the USA traffic moves at 60 - 70 mph on rural roads. With an official 55 mph top speed we are likely looking at a real top speed of about 50 mph (likely 40 or 45 on an incline) and I have no desire to be a rolling roadblock with a line of cars tailgating me and attempting sketchy passes.
