    Most I tend to do is 400 miles a day as starts to be hard work after that , I had a triumph before the blade and the blades far better for touring as the high level exhausts were a pain on the street r, melted many things on them! I've done Europe a few times on this blade and my old rry, and Scotland/ Ireland and found them great fun but as someone else said can be hard work through towns/ cities after a long day and the plastic tanks a pain in the bum as used to like a small tank bag to keep a few euros/ tickets in for toll roads to stop me having to fumble around for change!

    I have Ventura luggage, would be without it, easy to take on and off at the end of a long day,
    No pouncing around with bungees n straps.

    Also have a tank bag, Givi 307 15ltr, which is handy for passport, cash, cards, spare clear visor when wearing dark one.

    Got small 2 man tent sleeping bag n blow up bed from Decathlon, all cheap and pack small.
    Need 2 man tent to put leathers helmet, boots n luggage when stopped, took cable lock to lock all gear together and too bike when stopped.

    Just my ideas what I used, done 815 miles from Switzerland to London in one hit coming back from Mugello motogp, felt good after, better than ever thought. Think compression underwear helps under leathers so skin doesn't get pulled n rubbed as braking in accelerating.
