2000 miles in 11 - 12 days on a bicycle???<br>
<br>
If you can do more than 60 miles/day on a bicycle, power to you. I can tell you that getting up to that distance in one day takes either some training, or a couple of days of recovery. Thirty miles/day is a good pace for long trips. That would put one at about 65 days, with no breaks. And, of course, no down days for repairs.<br>

Even scooters aren't what they used to be. I thought 50cc was the scooter<br>
class. What is your anticipated fuel consumption for the trip?<br>

Back when I was a 15 yr-old keed, I had a 250cc Yamaha (yes, I drove it without a license) and it was definitely in the motorCYCLE class.<br>
<br>
It'd let out a loud wah-o-o-oOOOWWWRRR! as it screamed up to speeds<br>
that were fast enough to make even invulnerable-minded teenaged boys hang on for dear life.<br>
<br>
My older brothers had a Harley-Davidson "Topper" and a Piatti scooters before they moved "up" to motorcycles (BSA "Lightning" and a Kawasaki something-or-other) and even though they were well over 50cc (Topper @ 165 cc <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harley-Davidson_Topper" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harley-Davidson_Topper</a> and the Piatti @ 125cc <a href="http://www.piattiscooter.com/history.htm" target="_blank">http://www.piattiscooter.com/history.htm</a> ) they were more like a modern-day electric-assist bicycle than they were the 250cc Yamaha.<br>
<br>
... point being that going by engine size might not tell one much.<br>
<br>
My guess is that a 165 cc 1960's era scooter compared to a 165cc 2011 motorbike, would be like the difference between a 1960's era 250 cu inch 6-cylinder Chevy and a 2011-era 4 litre V-8 BMW ... so a 2011 250 cc probably wouldn't be a "scooter" ?<br>
<br>
But I can definitely say that 2000 miles should be do-able in about 11-12 days on a bicycle.<br>
