Just got home from a 2400 mile road trip from Fort Myers , Fl to Houston, TX and of coarse back.
I was two up with my awesome girl friend on the back for a weeks adventure.
We were able to pack with just the saddle bags and a tank bag for storage and did well.
Very Happy with the bike. We both found it very comfortable smooth and even two up fully loaded it is a rocket ship making easy work of traffic. Had to show a couple bike we ran across what big sexy was made of.
I tracked the fuel mileage in Med and Low power mode and have a summary of the mileage at the bottom of the page.
I found Low power mode to still be very smooth have good throttle response and get approx. 10% better fuel mileage.
Day 1: We both worked till 2 pm were on the road by 3. We left in a HEAVY rain storm that lasted about 30 minutes. I always love the looks on people's faces when you pass them in the rain on a motorcycle. We did around 475 miles and stopped in the pan handle of Florida got dinner and called it a night.
Day 2: Rode to New Orleans. Was around 300 miles. Had an amazing time on Bourbon Street. Crashed a wedding parade with a brass band playing and after a wedding member watched us dance,he walked up to us and gave us a white handkerchief that had the date and bride and grooms name on it. Really awesome when someone we don't know appreciates the good vibes we give out. We are going to make it into a Christmas ornament
