Welcome.
Good to see somebody from my orig. area O.o.
I'm from the Hudson Valley too - not OC, though, SC, small *** town called Yulan in another small *** town called Highland - about 1h10m from Middletown. Though now I'm in Rochester NY, so I can't offer to go riding with ya .
270 miles is pretty damn nice if you're just starting, man, good job. That's the longest I've ridden my Kat in one day (Rochester to the Hudson Valley ), took about 6 or 7 hours, which is very slow when you think about it, but meh.
My current baby is an '04 R1...and I honestly can't imagine doing 270 miles on it - the seat is comfortable..not 270 mile comfortable, lol. At least the Kat had a center stand and luggage tie-downs. Definitely going to miss the bike - my '97 Kat-750 has to get sold soon . Enjoy your stay here, and enjoy your Kat. I'm definitely broken about moving to an R1, I <3 my Kat - there will always be a place in my heart for it!! They're great bikes.'97 Civic EX - Secondary car

I love R1's and was actually looking into getting one of them, however like you said... they are not trip bikes. Nice for an evening ripp but not for distance cruising. 270 miles wasn't too bad, I did a 70 mile practice ride a couple days prior to my trip around Bear Mnt and along the Hudson River. Had some *** rapage and my shoulders got tired but, after that it was good! On the trip we had like 20 bikes, and it took us about 10 hours with multiple stops. It was deff a great starting experience and I would love to do it again however the weather we've been having lately does not allow such pleasure...
Thinking about Getting a Legacy GT next year or a Yamaha JZR

I'm definitely going to miss my Kat when I sell it, but I definitely got to sell it. It'll always hold a place in my heart, though, and I'll probably get a post kat somewhere down the road, lol, but for now, it's sell the Kat, keep the R1, and then wait .
EDIT:
The 70 mile trip was a good idea, before I went on my 270mi trip the furthest I ever did on a bike was like 30 miles (didn't have anybody to ride with), the 270 mile trip kicked the **** out of me, haha.'97 Civic EX - Secondary car

I then bought a '82 CM450E and loved the **** out of it for about a month, then I ran into carb problems and its been out of comission for the last 2 months or so until I get the carbs back on it . I want to do a long trip on it once i get it working, I feel like it will make a nice long distance bike.'97 Civic EX - Secondary car
