I finally was able to test the long haul capabilities of my bike with a 5 day 4 night 3,200km (2,000 mile) treck through Montana, Idaho & Washington.
Verdict:
Now that I completed my first annual long haul, I feel comfortable saying I don't need the old 1100 Spirit any more but still might keep it as my daily work commuter.
Anyone else have experiences to share from some long haul trips?
Verdict:
- Properly equipped one can easily log 800+ km (500 mile) days.
- The Fury can carry enough gear (provided you don't have a passenger and you do have a friend who will carry the tent)
- The Fury gets incredible gas mileage (57 mpg (imperial gallons) which makes the puny tank still get an impressive 260km (160 mile) range
- The Fury may not be a sport bike but corners are still a rush
