May I Know : What is the longest distance you have ridden on RD in a day

[KANDY]

Hi,
I made my longest trip on RD350 to a Swap Meet here in Ontario. Altogether I did 214 miles took about 5.5 to 6 hrs with 5 stops, wondering how much you guys made in a day or may I know about your longest travel.
Regards.

About 400 miles in a day on both my TDR250 and TZR250 3XV.  But they are water cooled, so that's cheating.

Back in 1977 I rode my RD350 from Columbia to Myrtle Beach a couple of times during the summer, about 100 miles each way. I was 18 back then so I didn't know any better.

In recent years about 180. When I was a kid about 250.

3 years ago when at the Deal's Gap 2 stroke meet, all day ride to Wheels of Time in Maggie Valley with scenic stops in the Blue Ridge Parkway with gas and food breaks. 234 miles.
This year only 183, last year 160 I think...

I've told this story before, but it was lost on the old board.  I know a guy from Long Island who has ridden 2 Stroke Yamahas since the 60's.  He bought his 71 R5 new, and rode it to California and back *five times* over the years.  He still has the bike, he's up into his 70's now.  The R5 had 130000 miles on it last I knew....

I don't know his one day record though...

I bet that R5 was wheelie-happy  ;D

330 miles. Klamath Falls OR to Ukiah CA. Made the trip a few times in the late 70's. Home was in Ukiah and I was going to college in K Falls.
One time I was faced with the dilemma of having an old beater car ('65 Impala 4 door) and my RD. Needing to get them both home for the summer I took my RD apart and put it in the back seat.

I've only been on my DS7 about 125 miles on a single trip.
She's not stock, and the ergo's aren't best for long stints in the saddle. More like cruising around the lakefront or zipping around town.

330 miles.

Wow...

[Dvsrd]

300 km with rearsets and clipons, 400 km with low handlebars. May have a go at 650 km in a day later this summer, to spectate at classic roadracing at ACR.

Most I've done in two days was a little over 500mi from Maryville TN to Rockingham NC for the smokeout.

Back in '09 I rode from Knoxville TN to Portland OR.
Longest day was just over 300mi, it was rough.
About 3000mi total with all the backroads, only hit about 60mi of interstate total.

The worst thing about riding an RD long distance is shit fuel economy and oil is pricey. 

It was still a hell of a trip.
