So Why Terra 125???

To be honest.... i wanted the Yamaha Super Tenere but at $31000 BND (Brunei is same as Singapore dollars) .... thats way over budget ... at $31k i could buy a toyota vios with extras for accessories or i could buy a Harley Sportster and the extras for accessories or yadaa yadaa yadaa.... anyway something about a motorcycle with aluminum panniers that turns me on....

Look at that.... So sexy...i love how it looked so "full"

But the main culprit of me wanting these types of bike.... which is Dual-Sport/adventure type of bike.... is because of watching Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman's The Long Way Round..... i was so inspired that i decided to get a dual sport bike and start touring the world....well not really the world....maybe go round Borneo??? 

i always liked the idea of touring on a motorcycle for a long distance trips...back then i was thinking of America, touring on a Harley from coast to coast....ahh well something that i dreamed about.... but for now Borneo for a start! But i was so inspired by The Long Way Round.... and i loved the BMW GS that they rode in the documentary.... the on/off roading adventures.... i just love adventure..... and camping..... just like what Ewan and Charley did.....

The main culprits that made me want a Dual Sport/adventure bike..... inspired really...

There's not a proper BMW motorcycle agent here, maybe there is but i just dont wanna check but i'm sure it will cost a fortune... that's when i decided to ask about the Yamaha Super Tenere..... and after discovering the cost of owning a Super Ten will guarantee make me eat instant noodles everyday aka Maggi and indomee, i still wanted to own it..... thats when i stumbled on pictures of the Terra 125 adventure..... 

Hey look.... aluminium panniers!! and upskirt lol

i looked at the pictures of the Terra Adventure and OMG.... it got aluminum panniers.... then i realised the reasons i want an adventure bike is because of the aluminium panniers..... and i remembered my local dealers  did have the Terra's in their showroom.... so it's time to get my ass off to the dealers....

i've googled the Terra, do a bit of research on it ..... yes it is a 125cc .... well one thing for sure is it's cheaper than buying the Super Tenere..... it probably wont have the power of a 1200cc engine but some people did a tour with a 125cc.... the Terra will probably be lighter .... and experiences from a Vmax, i'd probably be more comfortable on a smaller cc engines .... not heavy as fuck!  and i chose to just own the smaller cc bikes.... right now i'm favoring my scooter and my Virago 535..... after the crash i just felt like i wanna sell off the Vmax.... but its my ultimate dream bike although ironically its the bike i crashed with ..... well anyway...

so i've decided to own the Terra.... the question now is..... the Normal Terra or the Adventure Terra???

More headaches for me coming up
