Fair play to you though, we are going on to Sweeden and Denmark ( 2 weeks max for us including the euro) but we try try to limit to 250miles max a day with 180 miles being perfect for a nice leisurely jaunt on the smaller roads, also we have to stop for a proper sit down lunch or a certain member of our group starts having a paddy and throws all his toys out the pram
It's all in the planning and it sounds like you have done that, so hats off and maybe we will cross paths on our exit of Belgium

I planned a trip a couple of years ago which was 400 to 500 per day. My mates were really piseed off with me as they reckoned it was too much. It was fine for me.
We were all riding 750cc or bigger touring bikes.
What I'm saying is that not everyone and every bike/saddle/arse is suited to it.
I hope you enjoy yourself, but 450 per day on a lambretta! Good luck mate.

That’s the thing Compass, time is against me or I would have included Russia into this trip, so it’s gonna be a tough ask from both myself and my Scooter. Is ur touring team heading for Sweden/ Denmark b4 euro event or after?

Not confirmed, but most likely after.
Plan to leave on the Sunday and head towards Lubeck with a ferry to Trelleborg in Sweeden.
