Can my bike go far?

When I was a student (eg poor) I used to do a 500km trip about 8 times a year on an old 250 with less power than the RG150.

As long as the bike is in good condition and can keep up with the traffic you will be O.K. The rider is often the limiting factor. Take care of yourself with plenty of breaks and don't ride tired.

On one trip my mate on a Suzuki GP100 tagged along with me and another guy on his self tuned RZ250. The wee Suzi and rider made it no worries. It was the farken RZ that gave all the trouble.

As said, go for it. I did some big trips on the KR150 and the only problem as previously mentioned is the range. 150km tops including reserve has you worrying if you'll make it to the next fuel stop in time.

Oh don't expect it to be cheap though. The little two strokes gulp through the petrol and you also have to add in the cost of oil. I don't know what oil you use but I would recommend buying a big 4L container before you go and splitting it down into 1L containers that you can take with you (or w/e you have available). Buying servo oil soon adds up,

Good info on 2 stroke range issues cheers. Any of you KR150 owners ever manage to get hold of anything resembling a manual or handbook. All searches worldwide have ended up with nuffink. I'm thinking of escorting my son down to Paeroa BOTS on his KR. Hell of a fun bike.

Should be fine, me and few other are heading to the Brass monkey from Blenheim on 50cc scooters this year, so 150cc sounds massive.LOL
