we did 1100 miles total on one weekend and i could not feel my butt when i got home. not a couch by any means
A group of buddies and I did 1100 in 3 days on a trip from Southern IN. to Deal's Gap and back. It wasn't too bad as long as you stay off the Interstates. The curvy back roads keep you shifting your weight side to side to keep the blood flowing in your arse.
On the other hand, a trip up to Indy (a little over 100 miles) just about killed me. It was all STRAIGHT.

Havre de Grace Md to Orlando Fla. Couple of times back and forth. 940 miles one way. Used to do it 1 day.
'Course I was 19 and riding an XS1100 standard, a Barcolounger compared to an R1.

950 miles in one day on a 996 from waynesboro virginia to fort myers florida
it was the last day of a week and half trip. Went from south west florida to new hampshire for bike week total trip mileage was about 4500. Ive actually done the trip twice. I was so used to riding distances that it wasnt that bad. Now i dont put enough miles on my bike, it would kill me!!!

Dude, you're a real man! Especially on a Ducati; the ergonomics of an R1 are like a sport-tourer compared to a Ducati!
I've done plenty of 500+ mile days on an R1, but almost 1000 miles in a single day is almost unheard of on a full-on sportbike. If you would have kept records, you could have qualified for some type of iron-butt award.
Hats off to you!

625 miles. South Bend, In to Fort Wayne, In to Indianapolis to Nashville, Tn to Huntsville, Al. 90% Interstate!!! & thunderstorms the last 150 miles, UGGGHHHHH!!!! Was on a '88 CBR 1000F Hurricane.
I did 900 km in a day in the pouring rain. North Conway NH to just outside of Toronto on a 96 ZX-7, 3 hours from home I would have traded it for a Skoda with a flat tire.....I've done 600km + days on my R1's and didn't have half the pain...:thumbup
Done a few 500+ mile days on the R1.......either the bike or my butt wasnt built for it that or I am just getting old.
2165 miles in 2 days. From Palmdale to San Fransisco on PCH, went over the Golden Gate Bridge, headed east and came back down through Kern County. Butt was sore for a day, not to mention while I was riding.
Wow, all of this is making me rethink my thoughts on riding from WA to ND this summer. It's 1274 miles and I was thinking of spreading it over three days but that is still 425 miles a day, two days = 637 miles a day. I don't know now.
Maybe after I put a few more miles on my new bike I will come to a conclusion. After all that riding I won't be able to sit on a bar stool and get drunk with my friends.

nova scotia, canada to new jersey. i think it's not bad if you have a tankbag that you can lean on a little, take some of the weight off. make sure u have a light helmet and earplugs.
