You guys are high speed! The farthest I've traveled from home is about 2-3 miles! I've only been riding for a couple of weeks though. Still haven't been on the highway!
Good luck with the ride. If you find yourself in Northridge on the way to San Diego, let's go for a ride! |

Tips for Long Distance Travel
I've heard from many sources that the ninja isn't great at long distance rides
 . What can be done to the bike to make it more geared toward touring?

I've gone 700 miles in a weekend, and I'm sure there are a lot of other guys that have done a lot more.
Other than the high rpms, and the small amount of passing power, the ninja 250r is a great little touring bike. Of course other bikes do better, but with the right stuff you can travel quite a bit. |
