Longest trip - not don it yet, but working on it. Want to ride up the east coast to Nova Scotia. Ferries will be involved at some point.  Wink

Weather - All sorts. Skipped on the black ice day tho.

Stops - always for gas, once for a water break. Usually about 100 miles.

Average MPG - 50+ (i am really bad at keeping track of it)

Roads - tarmac, concrete, some hard pack dirt roads and highway

Speed - here is why I chimed into this post at all; I find my 06 has a highway 'sweet spot' at 70 mph.  Runs like a happy purring machine at that speed for as long as my butt can stand it.

But it does not seem that many other people have that higher speed as a comfortable ride.  Is it because I am on a newer bike?

Interesting point. My bike (2005) runs very smooth at 70 also. I wonder if that is because of the 5th gear added around model year 2004 or 2005 ?

Did about 160 miles on friday with 3 stops averaging about 55 to 60 miles per hour and 66 miles/gallon. And another 160 miles on sunday no stops averaging about 70 to 75 miles per hour and 50 miles/gallon. This was on an 87 with 4 speed and very loud custom exhuast, ears and butt were only things that hurt.
