Sport Bike Road Trips?
#21
God this forum is awesome. Thanks everyone!
My two spots I hit in the car regularly are St Louis (300 mi), and Mackinac Island (450 mi), which seeems like nothing compared to you guys.
I average 75mph in the car on freeways, but hate the highways on the bike. When taking major roads \ public highways instead of freeways, what sort of average speed do you guys see? I'm trying to recalculate my times, here.

We have these two:

pretty big bag, helmet holder is awesome, has backpack straps. holds a lot- we fit a d60, tripod, water bottle, all sorts of stuff in it.
and
http://www.kneedraggers.com/details/...-ICON05-1.html
Smaller, maybe purse sized, still holds a good amount.

Here's another one: I've only got 600cc here. That's awesome for carting around town, but is it going to be a problem donig 50 - 70MPH for hours straight? I mean, I know it will WORK, but is the HP drop at the higher RPMs along with the increased gas consumption going to be a huge pain?
Also, at 70-75 I averaged about 40+ mpg..
