"We want a 125 cc motorbike to take us from Portugal to South Africa!"
......
This was the introduction to several motorbike dealers in Lisbon. Every single one of them was shocked, some called us crazy, others just said that it was mission impossible (without Tom Cruise), but after all, one dealer sold us a bike! The chosen one was the Yamaha 125 YBR Custom.
This seller was not too shocked, being more than happy to sell another bike. The main concern was don't forget to change the oil. If you do that, the motor is gonna survive! Definitely, it doesn't have the look of a Tenere, Varadero or BMW which are the usual choices for this kind of trip. It looks more like a "bad ass" one (or American cruiser look, using a more polite way of speech). The engine of the reliable 125 YBR contributed to our decision and the shape of the gas tank did the rest!!
In fact, the tear drop tank shape and the tears we are gonna drop to reach the final destination inspired us to baptize it: Tear Drop!
Now, we are three on the way to South Africa: Sweet Potato, Clark and Tear Drop!

Se eu não gostasse tanto do nome diria que Tear Drop é um nome um bocado gay!
