I wouldn't reccomend anyting less than a 500cc bike for a 2 up Long Distance run. especially if you are packing any sort of weight. I am speaking in terms of stock power you need the torque to get you moving.
One thing I see missing from this thread with all of these numbers are peoples weight and size that plays a big role in the mileage you get from one experience to another.
