Mark,
I don't get to ride that often, yet, but I have done two trips . One of
about 1500 miles the other around 3000 and it included an Iron Butt Saddle
Sore 1000. 1000 miles in 24 hours or less. I found the bike to be extremely
comfortable and compentent. I currently have 5800 miles on her and most of
that has been on 2 or 3 trips lasting less than 4 days. In other words I
think you will love it!
