    Re: Miles on a SPORT bike.

    I did 500+ a few times last season on my CBR600RR.

    I did 350+ on my D675 yesterday, riding 9 and 100 in southern VT and route 2 in western MA. Then I got back to eastern MA and did like 50 more 2 up.....way way way way more taxing on this bike than the RR.

    I think I saw you yesterday... I was stretching at Hogback and a graphite d675 passed by with 2 ducs. You?

    Re: Miles on a SPORT bike.

    Here's the route I did last August with the New England Rally. Not sure how far we made it in 24 hours, but we rode that route in 34 hours. Each check point was about an hour long stop, it rained for the first few checkpoints. It was raining hard too. We didn't sleep at all during the 34 hour trip either.

    I was with a black St3 and a red Kawasaki Z1000 that was riding 2 up.

    I had a blue leather and blue helmet on a graphite d675, it was probably me

    You must have had the blue d675...I saw it and gave a wave, probably not the safest thing I've ever done considering I was pretty committed to the turn.

    Re: Miles on a SPORT bike.

    700 Miles in 24 hours on my R6. Went from Nashua to Burlington on Friday night after work, got up the next morning, rode 300 miles on the back roads of VT (from Burlington down to the southern part of the state and back). Then road from Burlington home. Arrived home almost exactly 24 hours after I left. Maybe that counts as two days since the first two hundred miles was Friday night and followed by a couple hours of sleep before riding 500 miles on Saturday?

    Did we look fast?? haha I was on the black ST3.

    I've done a 600+ day on trips coming back from the dragon on a Moto Guzzi V11(not quite a sport bike) and coming back from Nova Scotia on a Monster S4R(again not a real sport bike). A few 500+ day's on the D675 last season... those hurt.

    Yea I've only seen 2 so far this year. I dont know about you but after a 450 mile weekend, i can definitely feel it. I did about 280 yesterday and I just wanted it to be over the last 50, straight shot on route 2 isnt very fun though...

    West of 91, route 2 is phenominal, once you get east of 91 we saw legitmately 4 cops just sitting on the side of the road taking radar, and then it gets flat and straight all the way to boston.

    I haven't done that stretch of rt 2 yet, thats next on my list. I ended up taking 100 down to 112 and then just hoping on rt 2 to get home. Kind of wished I rode 9 back to brattleboro and got on 119. Oh well

    Re: Miles on a SPORT bike.

    So are we talking about hitting twisties or slabbing it? Anyone can do 600+ if you're avg speed is 85-90 on the interstate.
