Even though some folks go on road trips with such a small motorcycle, a 125 is actually meant to be a workhorse, at all. Manufacturers just make some fancier models resembling a cruiser or a crotch rocket, yet with a 125cc engine, for the folks who wish they could afford something bigger and more powerful. Maybe you wouldn't regret getting that Kawasaki, try it as a city commuter for shorter errands, and soon you might feel tempted to see how far you're safe to go with it.
