RUNAMUCK 26,171 Report post Posted May 26 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(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 26,171 Report post Posted May 26 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RUNAMUCK 26,171 Report post Posted May 27 @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.
