Seeing his average, looks to be low 80's, but still excellent. He really shoudln't be having to try that hard to get that mileage, by what I see... looks to be a side-by-side twin, single carb, dual exhaust, might be DOHC, haven't checked closely.

I'd think 80 should be a good baseline for the 200, the 185 isn't much smaller, so maybe mid 80's?

If that's what I'm starting from, shooting for 100 just seems like cheating... LOL.

I'm thinking about restoring that Dream 90, too. It only has a few thousand miles on it, as well, but is in considerably worse condition, and in need of a full resto, even though the engine is rebuilt fresh in the last 100 miles.
