50cc is fun and punishing at the same time 

Its the small tyre size on chonky gravel that makes it suck

Let's all get shit bicycles and add shit China 2 stroke kits to them

 

Small engine

Big diameter tyres

Best of both worlds

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)

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.. ..

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. 

If you never lift on the gravel itl.be fine

 

Don't recommend carrying all your gear in a backpack in that situation tho
