Nothing wrong with a small engine:
If I were you I'd go for that small engined bike you mentioned, I know there's people on here saying you need a big bike, but there's plenty of travellers happy with low power. Do a search on here for posts by Simon Gandolphini who rode in South America on a 125 and Birdy who rode to Capetown two up on a dodgy Honda CG125. Google Wan Lee and Ruckus and see someone who toured all round the US on a 50cc scooter.
I happily load up my Derbi Terra Adventure (another 125) and go off for a week or two (time prevents more). You just have to treat your journey differently, pack a little lighter maybe, shop for food a bit more often, don't carry quite as many gadgets, stop more, potter more, avoid major arterial roads.
Look at it this way, people bicycle the world and can carry everything they need, and cover huge distances. If they can do it with just leg power a 125cc's 15hp is more than capable.
