whats the longest ride you've done on your kat?

[donalson]

I've just started riding but for some reason i'm realy intrested in doing some long rides... reading over teh iron but assosation ride options it just sounds like fun .

whats the longest ride you've done on the kat?... how was it?... other then some 750 bars and suspension tweaking it seems like it wouldn't be to bad.

thoughts? opinions?

New Orleans to Nashville and back in 15 hours. This was for my first Iron Butt ride and total milage was 1116 miles.

On the Kat? About 780 miles in one shot.

I've done more in a day, but there were breaks for dinner, friends, etc.

The longest single ride I've done was slightly over 2200 miles without taking more of a break than food & gas & bathroom... but that was a '81 Honda 450 twin with a huge bench seat and square tires.

About 950 miles in 16 hours. Tank-to-tank, on a bone stock 04 600.

360 mile. a little sore

In one sitting with breaks it was around 350 miles, the first day.

It was when I was doing my week-long vacation to southern Oregon coast. The entire trip was around 1,500 miles.

A couple weeks ago I bought a custom seat from Rick Mayer for my day/weekend trips in comfort. He's only about 3 hours north from me.

250-300 miles in a half a day

[bikerscars]

351 miles with a few rest stops

with full backpack... not too sore

i would not suggest using a loaded backpack for any trip over 150 miles for comfort reasons

strap the stuff to the bike...and take a credit card with you

I did about 500km in a day.

[mx916]

Did a 320 mile day. Was'nt even sort thanks to my Corbin seat.

So the consensus is basically that most people can handle 350 or so miles in a day without much of an issue on a stock bike?

I'm interested in making a 600 mile trip (in one day) and I've never been more then an hour and a half on the katana at one time... (or any bike for that matter)... how bad a trip is this going to be realistically (on a stock 05 600)???
