Super Sport...

Hey all, Im finding it really hard trying to get a motorbike that is not a Super Sports bike.
I cant imagine that a Super Sport will be comfitable for a 15,000 mile trip... also would I miss alot of the scenary?

P.S. I can only go on a 125 and want to offroad alot if this makes a difference... >_<

You should be able to get a XT125 or similar little dirt bike no? What budget do you have?
