Bike Shopping (Well, Window Shopping)

I think the most brutal road trip I've done was Sturgis on a ZX-10R. 5 days, about 3000 miles. I was sore for a week after that.

Not a bad looking bike. Don't care for the paint scuffs that are likely under that tank bra, though.

My back started to hurt just reading that LOL

Worst i did was 800 or so miles from deals gap back to NY on my 99 TLS. The S is a bit more forgiving than the R and isnt THAT bad on the highway, but my arse was numb for 2 days after that ride.

Yup! In May of 2003 I rode my TLR to Florida for a week's vacation. I took 1-1/2 days getting there (OKC to Pensacola on day 1, Pensacola to Orlando day 2).

I spent a week goofing off in FL, then I headed to Two Wheels Only in northern Georgia for a good night's rest, then it was off to OKC on the TLR. 1100 miles in 22 hours.

For the record, I don't recommend 1000 miles in one day on the TLR. lol

This trip is what gave me the touring bug. One month before this trip, I bought a 2003 GSXR 1000. 3 months after this trip, I traded the GSXR 1000 in on the Hayabusa that I have today.

You bought the hyabusa as a new bike? Could have sworn you bought it used.

Nope. I rolled it off the dealership floor with 2 miles on it. I took it back 30 days later for the first service with 3200 miles on it. The service guys just shook their head at me.
