Hi Iat
Sorry I am a bit late replying to your questions but the guys seem to of given you a direction.
Just to clear up the Tf 125 travelling thing. Its not that they are better than another small bike but just happen to fitted our needs at the time and were available. The idea was basically to force a slower speed upon us and give a better motorcycling experience using only the small roads that they are suited for. I used to enjoy racing two strokes and that is why I didn't choose a four stroke.
I think the 185 is more suited to you needs, particularly off road, the 125 is very slow. But you have come to that conclusion already.
There is one thing to think about tho with regards to cost. The petrol consumption of a two stroke and the need for oil make them probably twice as expensive in daily running costs, that is price per kilometer. A small four stroke engine would give far better petrol consumption and range with the trade off being less power and more expensive repairs if anything should go wrong.
Good luck
Andy
