Gear it up big and carry a spare counter sprocket either 1+/- so you can make it work is you misjudge the gearing. The gearing commander website is great for this. You can play with he gearing numbers and see what will work. I'd say gear it so it will run 50/60 ok then decide if 1st is low enough. I didnt find the technical parts that much in need of a low gearFine. There are some guys who carry a lot of speed where they can, but most riders go just fast enough to stay on top of the surface they are on at the moment. The only spooky part for smaller bikes is the last few miles on NV160 into Vegas, but even there the traffic isn't going to run over you. If you decide to skip a section and ride I15 instead, that is another story. Guys ride this on CT90 Hondas, antique Huskies and even an old AJS. A 450 is about right, but out there smaller is better than larger.
