What do you think the best 50cc touring scooter is? The Roughhouse is good for the dirt roads you sometimes come across in the middle nowhere. There's a couple that rode from Vancouver to Toronto on a Yamaha C3, which has loads of luggage space.
I'm partial to the Buddy 50. Reasonably big pet carrier that's large enough to fit a few changes of clothes, put a rear rack on it and you're set for camping gear, derestrict it and you're good for most 45mph back roads. Getting 80-90mpg with a 1.2 gallon tank will go 100 miles between fill-ups, which is a good distance for stopping to stretch your legs. I'm going on a 6-day vacation hiding out in log cabin up near Grand Traverse Bay in a few weeks, and I'm gonna take the Buddy up there (150 miles each way).
