Did 900+ miles in a day once, kinda boring for the last few hours, but not painful or anything. 1,000 miles not that big a deal on a reasonably comfy bike.

The first day, no. 11 days in a row is a WHOLE 'nother thing though.

I've done 1200 mile days on my Hayabusa. Do I recommend it? Hell no!

The BMW, I've done a 900 mile day and could have done a few hundred more.

"Reasonably comfy" being the key there.

yes... I've done 750 in a day on the DRZ with Gas and Capt... I didn't want to sit down for a few hours when I got to Trips... my ass hurt for a good three days...

I did 980 on my ZZR and only stopped because I reached my destination. I could have gone on, though I was crazy tired.

But yeah get on a big comfy tourer... it's another story... still insane day after day

Ive done a few really high mile days and yep the comfort of the bike makes the difference between being able to do it day after day

how does the comfort/lack of speed of the KLR compare to the Speed/lack of comfort of the Honda?
