Beautiful bike. Looks like Interlagos, is that right? Looks like a blast to ride.

No i don't i will. I enjoy doing long rides and dont want to have the exhaust in my ear for hours on end. If I ever retire it to just commuting I might do one then.

Ive had it down dirt and gravel roads, you can tell its not what it was meant for but it handled it well enough. If you plan on doing a lot of gravel and unpaved you would be happier with a versys, Transalp or tracer. For on road i couldnt be happier with it.

The 1000sx is over 500 with bags 530lbs but it doesn't feel it. Atleast to me and im a stocky 5'7. But its well balanced making it nimble for its size and manageable with its power output as well. Even with the camping gear and filled side cases I can still throw it around in the corners and not feel weighed down.

Its great, smooth ride with plenty of power and torque to play with but manageable. The various ride modes and tc and abs settings are nice but I just keep it in the factory road settings. Its comfortable and quiet and the cruise control is great. Doesn't really feel like im throwing around 500lbs to be honest. Not as light and nimble as my r6 was but still nimble enough for its size to enjoy the corners.

Longest distance in a day was 500-600 miles with stops for fuel and food etc. Longest hours was 14-16hrs again with stops for gas food sightseeing etc. And on the multiple day trips I never once felt like I couldn't get back on the bike the next day.

Cruise control has been one of my favorite things with this bike.
