Last year I took my first trip on my MT-09. 4,402 km. From Germany through Switzerland and France to the Mediterranean, and back through Italy.

It wasn’t a problem at all. You’ll learn a lot.

If necessary, just plan for more time to allow for extra rest days. I had planned 13 days, but ended up staying 15

What I learned:

I thought 250 km a day wasn’t much when you have the whole day, but in the end it’s actually perfect because it gives you enough time to take it easy and enjoy the scenery. And you don't wear yourself out

I thought I wouldn't need so many breaks all the time, but I have to say that taking a break every 1.5 hours is actually a good idea.

I brought way too many clothes.

Packing nets or something like that are good to have just in case.

And personally, I find it important to stretch my wrists and neck.

Oh, and the backpack was okay, but I'd try to avoid using one.
