I have several times been riding long distances. 1000 to 1300 km. Here in Norway that is 15 to 25 hours. Only 10 to 15 min stop each 300km for fuel and a hot dog. And all the way through Germany on autobahn at speed 130 to 150, only 3 stops for fuel. Have high Wind shield.
That is normally no problem. The handling and suspension is good even on bad Norwegian road with heavy luggage.
But the seat can be a problem. When I ride alone I am able to move back and fort on the seat. Then I am able to ride continous, just stop for fuel. But with passenger I can not move. Then it is terrible!
But as a long distance tourer, I like the @ very much. I like the small roads and hate autobahn. Autobahn is only good when I have been a day or two too long on vacation, and are in a real hurry back home.
