Prior to lockdown always did a Spanish trip for three weeks...regular 9 or 10 hour days with an hour for lunch... my Blade is a fabulous touring bike... just strap a couple of Kreigas on the back..
Highest is about 250 highest on the blade about 100 not really riden it much to be fair though I think I average around 70-100 on a run out so got it out between 7-10 times in 18 months
Warrington to Baden Baden in a day on my old S1000XR, less a rest waiting and travelling on the Eurostar with a few fuel stops. 700 odd miles 3am til something like dark o-clock arrival about 8pm, i ride a lot with work so being on the bike for hours isn't a problem, plus mainland Europe speeds carry well... I feel i couldn't do that on a blade though, I'm too old !
On my Aprilia I did 730 miles in a day from Switzerland (Lucerne) to home. It was horrendous!!! Getting back on the bike in Folkestone after having a 30 minute break on the train felt like I had whiplash. We left at 7.30 in the morning and got home around 1am.
I think the furthest is when I picked my blade up for the first time. Roughly 245miles from Leicester to Plymouth. Was a good and fun ride back.
@kirk holmes @Sp0oner and anyone else who is interested, here is a link for the route in post #16. https://www.google.com/maps/dir/56....0!1m0!1m0!1m0!1m0!1m0!1m0!1m0!1m0!1m0!1m0!3e0
Brilliant thank you for this i've been looking at the west coast for a trip recently and also wanted to incorporate Braemar as i've been there before and really want to revisit it and this route is the perfect answer. I want to do it in the car first and then if hooked on the scenery (which I know I will be) back on the bike another year. Bit of a trip for me as I live overlooking the Isle of Wight - it's 462 miles to the most Southerly point on that route before I even start
I once ride from mid France back to Manchester non stop on my GPZ1100 returning from the Bol D’or but most recently was 1400 miles in two days going to a BSB round in Assen and back via Eurotunnel on this Blade. The gel seat came in very handy!
The furthest I have ridden my CBR1000RR 2017 in a day is over 1100km. This was 70% twisties along with my mates 2015 ZX10 and a 2017 GSXR1000RR. That being said - it was comfortable for 90% of the ride and that last fuel stop I did not want to get back in the saddle. I do 600-700km most Sundays with a club and thats easy - no fatigue however I do normally have a nap on the couch when I get home Refer Day 01 map heading out here: https://tinyurl.com/yn24s286 It was the Day 03 return with the extra big km's
