Hey great site. Just moved out to Seattle from Boston and rode my 2002 F4I. People looked disgusted when they heard how many miles I did on my three week trek(4,100) but it honestly wasn't all that uncomfortable. Anyone else done some long distance on thier CBR? My bike was great in the mountains, beartooth pass, bighorn mnts, chief joseph highway, it was awesome!

 

Welcome to the site.

Sounds like a great trip! I haven't done long distance trips on my 1000RR, but have on my Goldwing. There's just something about being out on the road all by yourself, traveling the country that is just awesome. Can't explain it. Especially if you don't really have a destination and are just out exploring for days. Great feeling.

Anyways, welcome to the site and post up some pics.

 

Welcome aboard.... I've made a couple of treks around 500 or 600 miles straight. If you did 4100 miles in three weeks, what was your longest day of riding? People don't believe me that I was comfortable doing 600 miles. I can change position so the weight is on my legs or butt and also lean forward enough so my chest and stomach take a lot of weight. Let's see them do that on a chopper or cruiser.

 

Welcome to the forum!
Glad you made a safe trip.

Just curious, how long ya been ridin, and how old are ya?

The most I've riding is from New York to Washington DC. That was GREAT! It was on my '03 YZF600R.

 

Definatley one of the best feelings anyone could ever have being free to explore on two wheels. Like what you said about being able to move around on the bike to get more comfortable, cruisers would not be receptive at all to that. Also i'm sold on the sport touring for ever cause I couldnt imagine taking some of those corners on a cruiser a: because it would be dangerous and b: because I like going more than 30mph through twisties. wish I could share some pics but it keeps saying the files are too large to post. Thanks for the replies, im 27 yrs old and this is only my second year riding.

 

Thats great!
Were you all by yourself or with others?

Please post some pics.
Folks here are more than helpfull here on the tech stuff like posting photos.
All you have to do is ask.

I too love doing long trips on my bike (2004 F4i), as most can tell my my odometer, LOL (see sig). Longest trip I've done was back in May... 5,126.3 miles in 18 days, and through 10 states. I absolutely LOVED it and can't wait to do it again!! If you care to see pics click here

Enjoy, be safe and keep the rubber side down!
