Post subject: 380 miles(611Kms) in one sitting....

As stated before, this bike rocks...fuel economy was 51mpg...which wasn't bad considering lots of passing (one lane road 90% of the time). My only gripe for the day is my butt is killing me!
Granted, no bike is going to be as comfy as a car...I haven't figured out why my tailbone hurts, other then maybe the seating position. Keep in mind I am 6'4" tall and weigh about 185.
All in all, I don't think my old FZ6 would have been better...especially in the fuel economy. I am hoping that there is a gel seat available soon. I know my bandit 600S had one and it was awesome...Just hope they come out with one for our bike!
Anyway, just figured I'd post about doing a lot of miles in one day.

Nice job Kodiak - you going for an Iron Butt patch or what?
Most I have done was 300 in a day with a stop in the middle. Can't wait for my Sargant seat - 300 mile ride this week end.
