A short weekend tour with my Honda Forza 125 in beautiful Thuringia from Laasdorf via the romantic valley villages near Stadtroda, to Hermsdorf, via Bürgel to Jena.
I'm fascinated by the building style where the majority is white and cutting across it is what looks like brown wood ??? I think that's what it is. Is this a traditional German style ? It is so different to what I am used to seeing.
Yes, this is a traditional construction method in Germany, Austria and Swtitzerland. It's called "Fachwerk" or timber framing. In this construction method there are no nails or screws used.
For the sake of simplicity, I'll copy the Wikipedia link for you: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timber_framing#German_tradition_(Fachwerkh%C3%A4user)
There are many cities in Germany , which have still these old buildings and people love it. Some of the oldest building are built in the 14th or 15th century - and they are still in use. A lot of time and money is spent on maintaining these houses.
What you see in the video in the villages are timber framed houses from the 18th or 19th century.
Today this construction method is still alive, but you'll find less and less people who have mastered this craft.
@@DAYDREAMZ-STUDIOS-ON-TOUR Thanks. I'll go and have a read now.
how easy is it to travel with 125 cc ?
Of course, there are some limitations. A motor cycle with 125cc in Germany has a max power of 15 hp. As you can see in my top speed test video, the max speed under the best circumstances is 130 km/h (80mph). You need to know, that every slope will have an impact on your speed. I made a tour in the Thuringia mountains and on steeper slopes, the max speed dropped to 65 km/h. But: speed is never the reason to buy a 125cc. These motor cycles are more lightweight, they allow a more quick handling than bigger bikes.
The Honda Forza 125 is one of the best equipped 125cc on the market. It is very comfortable on longer disstances. The fuel consumption is about 2,0 l/100km, which is very low.
Also a reason in Germany to buy a 125 cc: You don't need to pay special yearly tax fees.
Most of the 125cc are intended for short and middle distances (city / overland), but there are people, who ride 2000 km on a road trip with them.
