Done 800 or so a couple of times, but my most was 1138 miles in one day.
Preparation, route planning and plenty of coffee, you'll be fine.

That's an average day's mileage for me and an average day' hours is 11 - 12. I've got no life and no time for anything - it feels like on the road for 11 hours, then home for a couple of hours, then sleep, then do the same all over again. I am beginning to really hate it after less than two weeks (Oh, and the guy training me does 90 - 100mph, whilst nearly falling asleep and veering towards the kerb because he's ALWAYS tired and sleepy).

HELP

Sorry to go off topic, but I've not long got back from a 12 hour day and in a few hours I'll be asleep again ready to wake and do it again. CRAP!

Hi there

Most I did was 1500 miles in 3 days!
500 miles from Sunny Brighton to ****ing Scotland!
500 mile tour round scotland, bough tent and never used it, damn! There was so much to see and wish i stop for a night over, but ended up riding all day from kirkcaldy to inverness and aberdeen and back!
500 miles home! Was staying with an old & long friend of mine, oh and 50 miles riding round kirkcaldy doing **** all lol!

however i stayed up in scotland for a week and a half and god wasn't it hot and sunny!!! It was ****ing in Brighton! lol

And that was on a CB-1 and its knackered! Went up about 2-3 weeks ago, now needs new spark plugs, as it doesnt start well, u have to bump it!
Poor girl

Wonder what that will be like on the SV650 and i never got a sore bum! And its a recovered seat, but the padding aint gel either! But i never ached

Yo for now!
