I'll start, with a "TOP THIS" attitude. Last Friday I rode exactly 820 miles. From Dallas, TX to Chattanooga, TN. I'm thinking I could do 1,000 with proper medical attention.

Just under 500 miles here. Some local riding buddies did a 1060 mile Iron butt ride. One was on a bandit 1200, another was on a Concours 14, and the other was on a 2000 R1. They are putting together another and I'm gonna join them this time. They are a big pain in the ass for a piece of paper!

In 1991 I did 1,023 miles one day during my sport tour of western Europe. After my ZX-11 stretched the chain badly I had stopped just south of Brussels, Belgium, to go to a Kawasaki dealer. It cost me 2 days out of my schedule, and I had to make it up.

My ZX-14 is nowhere near as comfortable to ride as my ZX-11 was, and I'm 18 years older too and don't fold up as easily as then. Heh.

Maybe I'll put the lsl handlebar conversion on it sometime soon, then I could ride all day.

You young guys ought be able to do some serious miles in a day on the 14.

Longest in 1 day 600 and that was 2 up. It wasn't really that bad and the wife had no complaints. We did a 1 day roundtrip to Suches and rode the loop several times.

I rode 800 miles in one day coming back from Sturgis about 4 years ago . It was around 100 degrees and I was on my 1800 vtx. I felt like I was beaten like a rented mule. Last year, when once again, coming back from Strugis in about 100 degree heat, I put in a 600 mile day.on the zx. 1000 miles on the zx would be tough.

I woke up this morning and I got myself a beer. The future is uncertain and the end is always near.

200 since I'm now married. When I was single and had no particular place to go except chase tail, I once did 1500 in about 20 hours after a 12 hour shift (drifted asleep within the first few hours and nearly boarded a trialer full of lawnmowers.) I used to average 150 miles a day trying to explore every highway in the state. I did most of my riding the first year I bought a bike, 25,000 miles. Ten years later, I only have 100,000. I caught that tail on during the first year.

600 miles, in 1984 from Bahia Concepcion Baja California to San Diego, Cal. on my Honda VF750S. Since then I had several 400 to 500 miles days, but that December 30-th day of 1984 was it.

A few years ago I pull off 605 miles on my 01' XX. Most would think that is no big deal except for the bike was lowered (drag race mode) with a hard as hell corbin seat.

I was in pain for 3 days afterwards.
