I had a fair run out too - not on your scale, and all to places I've been before, but still. Enough to give me a pleasant tingle in my arse cheeks until they'd been bathed.

200miles isnt bad for a wee run out to be honest, id say we average about 160miles on each ride out we do. Thank god summers almost here though, means i can raise that to 300 by going into sunny cumbria 
i admit i'd have never taken on a 200mile ride on my old 125

Did a 120+ mile run round the Norfolk broads/coast myself today on the old 125!
Standing on the pegs near the end, it's hard work! Defintely have respect for people doing 1,000 plus mile trips!
PPl say that 125's are too slow for travel, they're not. I was easily keeping up with the traffic on carriageways (in fact, overtaking a fair bit) - on the slowest of the sliow 125's, an old ybr125 that tops out at 60, 65 if you're lucky.
a 125 is more than adequate for <300 miles travel. Anything more tan that, then I agree, you'd want the extra poke on the straights just to munch the miles a bit quicker.
A lot of people think, oh a 125, only good for going to the shops to pick up bread! Rubbish! It's all in the head! A decent 125 can keep up with at least 75% of road users.
