Hello all
I am New to this forum
I am a motorcycle commuter I ride every day. I dont have a car . I am planning a trip to visit deals gap this summer .I have a 2006 vfr 800 abs
that I was plannin to ride . I also have an Aprilia sr 50 scooter. with a big bore kit .It weighs under 200 lb and has 10 hp. the real speed range is 35-55 mph up hill ,45-70 mph down hill .I think it would be perfict for the dragon.Every one says I am nuts. but I dont see the need foe 100 hp and 500 pounds in tight turns
I don't want to piss people off though.The thing realey goes if you let it .It's not too loud and holds food and water under the seat . What do you think VFR 800 abs or SR 70 Factory? :rolleyes:

I would say do your best to bring both as they can be equally as fun.
I was there last summer with a buddy of mine. He brought his Honda 954 and his 1960s Bridgestone 90cc. He had a blast with the 90. Even thought it had no acceleration, once it was up to speed it could take all the turns.
Here is a link to a video I shot from my F4 of the Bridgestone, if you would like to check it out:

Fun factor? Looks like this on the gap road:
FF varies directly as the inverse of the CC.
Gumballs on the scoot & you'll never get rid of the grin...

thanks but I think I need a van .It is 500 mile trip I dont have a car ,I ride a motorcycle or a scooter all the time and I can sleep in the van
I am interestested in land speed records at maxton so It would work out a little better for there and Boniville.like a little camper or somthing. but thanks for the offer I will definitly keep my eye open for a old gold wing I can fix up:)
