+1

Most guys are looking for a stop at or around the 100+ mile mark. The 3.3 gallon tank has never limited my riding.

Default long ride

I rode 1330 miles in 20hrs. 2 yrs. ago on mine , I would NOT suggest ever doing it. I left Naples, Fla. at 3 a.m. and arrived in Toledo, Oh. at 11 p.m.

When I had my Sporty, I rode from Ft. Wayne, IN to New York, then back down to Huntington, WV, and then back up to Ft. Wayne. Did over 700 miles on it one day.... my *** was screaming!

Speaking of recent trips, 500 miles one way, total of 1300 miles for a three day weekend from Lawrenceville, Ga. to Orlando, Fl. by way of some beaches on the Space Coast and the Gulf Coast. Nice ride.

Going to do it again next month on a business trip, but no chance to hit the beaches this time. Got to attend meetings each day, but I do get to ride the scoot though and I get paid for it to boot...

Planning my first long trip of about 1,000 miles round trip.
it's a tribute ride for my Grandmother who passed away two days ago.

I'm not able to attend her funeral, so I will be taking spring break to visit her.
I'm riding out from Central Florida to just outside Covington Georgia, but won't take any Interstates all back roads and will be twittering the ride along the way.

I'm hoping to stop at dealerships along the way to collect small items to place upon her grave so that she could share in the experience.
