And for over an hour straight to. I had to bring the bike from Syracuse (in my mom's garage) to Rochester. Overall it was pretty much what I expected. My hands got a little tired and my legs were stiff as hell when I got off. You can't really stretch them much while you are riding a "Sport Bike".

 

Just curious... how'd you get the bike from Baltimore to Syracuse?

 

I brought it on the Uhaul with my other stuff.

 

Once you find a comfortable position your endurance will increase and you will naturally adjust every so often, glad you had a good time.

You have a Ninja, right?

 

yup, Ninja 250

 

Feels good right?

Longest for me was an hour and a half all highway. I was stuck in the fetal position when I got to my destination. h:

 

how was the 250 on the highway?
was it topped out?

I drove my Sv650 from lower hudson valley to Lake George that was about 1.5 hours. i was fine when i got there but a little sore on the way home.

 

Highway riding really isn't that bad on sport bikes, I don't know what alot of people fuss about. Gotta find the right position and adjust accordingly. 2 weeks ago I rode with 24 other bikers from Pittsburgh to Ohiopyle, that wasn't bad at all. This weekend I am riding about 4 hours north to Buffalo to visit a friend, and later this summer over to Richmond, VA to visit some other friends... I love highway riding!

 

Im not saying b.c it was a sports bike. im sayin b.c it is only 250CC.

and you bike shouldnt be that bad on the highway wither its has a banana seat.

riding your kinda sport bike and a RR bike is completely different.
I.E ( zx-6r,R6or1,CBR,)

the ergos on RR bikes is horrid for highway riding. (id do it anyway tho)
the SV650 wasnt to bad, much like your GS.

 

I rode to st louis and back once, about 2.5 hours each way. Wasn't horrible, but not great. You have to let the wind hit your chest and take a lot of the weight off your wrists, or just lay your stomach on the tank.
