As above, sore @rse will happen
Usually happens to me after 150 or so miles. Eventually inside of my legs ache too. But as for poke, plenty! |

All the best and have fun.
I did the run a few years ago for Charity and on the trip we had SV650N Yamaha R1 Honda Fireblade ZZR1100 Honda CBR600 ZX7R It's not a comfy tourer and is not the most pokey  but it will be adequate. Depending on planned route you'll have more fun on certain sections than a rider on a big tourer with more poke would. First 100 miles for me was a killer but once I worked out  turning back was not an option  I relaxed and enjoyed the rest of the trip. Enjoy!Cheers Ben
