Took this up to the Isle of Skye for my brother. Great ride up there even although the top speed is in the low sixties. Comfortable and fun bike.

On this side of the pond Suzuki sells what they call a Van Van 200.

Very similar to your 125.
Comfortable ride from what I hear. . ..

Yes, OG, we had the 200 version for a very short time before both models were discontinued due to European emissions laws. The 200, however, has been available in Japan for many years and we see some imports coming over here but the bikes have to be over 10 years old for taxation purposes.
The 200 actually saw very little improvement in terms of power so the 125 is still a viable option for most scenarios, excluding highways of course. Attractive little bikes with a very comfortable riding position and have been used for several long distance trips across Europe.
My brother's bike is 10 years old and still looks really fresh and rides well after 17,500 miles.
