I left my house at 4:40am and came home at 4pm. Total mileage was 475 miles and the average mpg was 45mpg. From San Jose, I took Hwy680->205->120 to Mono Lake and basically rode back the same route. Hwy 120 goes through Yosemite National Park and its highest elevation is approximately 9600feet. It was chilly in the morning but very warm in the afternoon. Gorgeous day for riding. Compared with my previous ride (SV1000N), ZX14R's riding position puts little more stress on my neck and hands. Clutch is heavier as well. Otherwise, the entire trip was really fun. My butt hurts but it is because my butt doesn't have sufficient fat. I am 5-8 and weigh 135 pounds. I am seriously thinking about Gel padding.
