Barring some kind of change in seat and gearing/engine vibration, I'd never consider my beloved new-gen for long interstate drones. I did my first just the other day. It was one of those days when the bike just didn't feel comfortable doing anything under 60, so to the interstate I went. "One Lap of 465" later, my right hand was numb, and my butt was uncomfortable. And that was only 53 miles in 47 minutes. I know, I know, hardly blazing but some sections were 45mph zones due to construction.

I love my ninjette for an around town commuter and fun bike, but if I ever wanted to spend significant time on the open road, had an interstate commute, or was considering Iron Butt, it would be on another bike more suited to the task.
