North Coast 500

Post by Widetrak »

Me and a mate are doing the nc500 end of September,
He has a Honda cb1300 & I will be on my beloved Rappy 1000
1400 miles in 5 days 🤪Anyone else done it?
Wish me luck

Go for it! It's bloomin awesome! :thumbsup:
Did it a few years ago (about 80% of it) before it was a "thing" on my Bandit 12.
You wouldn't believe that the beaches are in the UK, they look more mediteranean. make sure you top up with fuel at any opportunity or at least know where the fuel stops are, especially with the raptor fuel gauge being so fickle :lol:
Enjoy it!
I hope you get the weather.


Recommend Chocolate Mountain Cafe near Durness. Fantastic hot choc and cakes plus some neat NC500 choc bike souvenirs. Mmmmmm...... chocolate motorbikes :nod:

Oooh chocolate & motorbikes 2 of my favourite things ever.
Have looked into the petrol situation especially with the Raptor having a fairly small tank but will fill up at every opportunity & also take a tube incase I need to syphon from my mates bike.
Very excited 😊 Thanks
