Milage on a big single?
I am planning a trip in april-may 2015 hoping to spend 3 weeks in morocco on my Aprilia Pegaso. Doing lots of planning! I am hoping to get as far into the Saraha as I can on some of the really desolate routes in Chris Scott's book.
I have a lot of experience green laning on Betty, my bike and am aiming to be super lightweight as ever but there is one thing that is niggling me, how many miles/gallon I can expect on the piestes? On the road, I ususally get around 55mpg from the Yam 660 single, but what sort of mileage could one expect in a hotter climate tootling along the rocky roads?
I only have a 16 litre tank so my range on normal roads is 130 to 140 miles to reserve.
Any advice on good places to go is always welcome. I like big mountain tracks, the duney deserts (but not touristy places), and interesting local people.
cheers
Dave
