Sorry pard, but my limit is 600.....and I prefer 400.
that said, if one has to log the miles with a lot of gear, HD is the way to go. I'd hate to make a 3 day trip on a rice burner......'cept one of the REALLY big ones.
Size matters......
Personal best: 1477 miles, 00:02 26 May 1970 to about 23:55 26 May 1970, the day I was discharged from the Army, riding solo on a 1966 Triumph TR-6 with a 5.5 gallon *elephant tank with the parcel grid. I'd like to try for 2000 miles in a single day sometime, do-able with the right machine, I think, now that 55MPH speed limits have fallen by the wayside most places. Gas was around $0.25 a gallon then....

I've done extended trips on a borrowed cop's Vulcan and was impressed. But all that weight provides stability and wind deflection resistance when out there on the road for long rides. Size matters......
