Terra 125 .... it looks like a bike that Ewan McGregor rides!
Terra 125 adventure ... this one looks more like Yamaha Tenere
i've googled Terra 125 and do a bit of researched on it.... not so many reviews about it though...as if the bike is an endangered species.....but there's a few more reviews on the adventure model..... its basically the same bike.... same engine.... there are a few significant changes .... which im not sure whether it is a better change or upgrades or individual taste change.... the adventure comes with knobbly tyres (off road), bigger front tyre, much more higher, handguards, taller windshield bla bla bla ..... and from google images only the adventure equipped with alu panniers BUT i read somewhere in a forum the Terra 125 can also be equipped with the alu panniers as it is the same bike but i've never seen images of the normal Terra with alu panniers... but i have no choice as the only available Terra is the normal one.... anyway in the end its all about the looks right? so i set my mind to Terra 125....
When im about to make the purchase, thats when the dealer offered me the adventure model.... he said "if u want the adventure i can give it to you, the guy booked booked only but no yet down payment or pay deposit" ......... and i go fuccckkkkk!!!
arrghhh headaches.... why do i have options?? why cant i just decide on one? now i have two models of Terra to choose from.... which gives me plenty of headaches..... i love the Terra 125 it looks like a mini BMW GS.... thanks to the beak... which the adventure model is lacking although can be custom made..... i hate having choices..... this happens before when i'm about to buy a scooter and i felt like i made the wrong decision.... although i love that scooter.... so i was thinking and thinking and thinking.... comparing the two, which one is better, which suits me.... will i be doing a lot of off-roading?? because it seems that the adventure is more suited to it from the reviews that i read..... the adventure also seems to be more appropriate for long distance trip (the reason i chose to buy a dual sport/adventure bike).... but my mind said its the same engine.... its basically the same bike .... so logic tells me the normal Terra 125 can also do long distance trips ....
i do a lot of googling ... and many happen to tour on the Terra adventure, there's this chick from Singapore Cherie went to do long distance trip on her Adventure, there this guy rotor or retor i think, also did the long distance trip with an Adventure.... my mind says go for the Normal Terra 125 because of its looks but my heart says go for the Adventure because of its 'upgraded' specs so it should be a better bike.... but i finally found some blogs dedicated to the Normal Terra 125.... the guy did a tour with his Terra 125...ahhhhhh i felt at ease.... like i said logic told me its the same bike... both model can do long distance trip.....
so like i said, in the end its all about the looks.....
i chose the Terra 125!!


Nice looking bike! Looks alot better then the adventure model. Hows it holding up? Also do you have a rough mpg figure?
