I took my TT to the Cabot Trail in NS, Canada. It is about 19 hours away from where I live. I stayed there for about a week. It rain alot and the bike never missed a beat. The bike performed very well.
I had saddle bags, a tent, sleeping bag and an extra blanket.
On the way home, I went 11 hours straight on the bike and it was great. I was sore and popping asa the next day.
I had no issues. I did get the bike tuned up before hand and got diablo stradas put on. The tire were great even in 6 hours of rain.

Man, I don't know how things are up in Canada, but if you ever end up down New England way, that tank could cause some trouble. I've seen more than one car or truck vandalized because they were flying the dixie colors here in CT...On 2007-02-08 16:57, ukilme wrote:

Done nothing more than 300-400 miles in a day but still felt fresh at the end.
2 up I've only gone about 100 miles but again, not complaints from the pillion.
Hope to go solo to Europe this year

Up here in Canada, I have no issues-keep in mind that there is a 01 under the baggage- and did not have any when I went to NW and Maine. BUt I will keep your advice in mind and cover it with a tank bag when I am in your woods :-D But first I have to get my passportOn 2007-02-09 10:58, rustbucket wrote:

I'm a link to the picture above :-D
Nope, you're sure not - takes all kinds I guess :razz: .
It may not be my cup of moonshine, but I gotta say I like the job done on your bike a lot more than the other one.

I've done a few camping trips on mine (S4) and it's coped very well although can be a bit prone to wheelies with extra weight on the back! I've also ridden a lot with my girlfriend on the back. I find it copes well but it's not quite as comfy for the pillion as the ZRX1100 I used to have. Here's a shot of mine on a camping trip to Wales

as you can see, they can hold a fair bit of luggage! :-D
