RUNAMUCK Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 What style of 50cc? It's well do-able on a twist and go. But on a nifty50, or a stock fa50 it would be pretty punishing. As said, small wheels are death on the more gnarly gravel stages. A bigger wheeled fiddy could likely carry a higher average speed on the rough stuff. I wouldnt dream of doing it on a machine that couldn't do an honest 61-63. And do it all day long. (Reliably) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Reliably) standard twist and scoot, reliable as a chinese vmoto for max lols, however will probably have traded up by then! i think the hard bit about 8hrs in the saddle will be finding the buttplug after all the corrugates.. ..

RUNAMUCK Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 If it does 60, you'll be fine. It's just slow on the gravel. 8 hours is a bit of an exaggeration. Plus we stop for fish and chips/burgers/PG's/GCSBeaver's power tour tutorials. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUNAMUCK Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Nah. Probs not. Under seat storage on a twist n go is handy for gear nor thrown into a support trailer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUNAMUCK Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 @KKtrips As discussed at quaranationals, you 100% need to come along on this run too. It's literally the final frontier of proper good old fashioned adventure.
