Hey guys, I am hitting 600 miles now and getting ready to get her serviced at the stealership. I was wondering can I go on a long road trip after that? I would like to ride to Florida (12 hours by car) if she is all broke in. I did a little shorter ride to Detroit last year on my YZF600R. I had a blast! I would love to make the trip on the Busa which is actually more comfortable. I have a few more weeks of leave left so I can wait and put more miles on her if this is not a good idea. This is one of those goals that I set in Iraq to do when I got home a couple months back. The first was to get the bike and the second was to ride it to visit family in Florida. Thanks for any input.

Sure, just vary your speed and rpms for the trip and you should be fine. I flew to SoCal to find my LE and rode it back 460 miles and it only had 4 miles on the odo. I took hiway 1 and 101 so I wouldn't drone on the freeway for hours with a new motor. Have a great ride!

up AND down thru the gears every once and a while

LOL, I actually leaned on her a bit yesterday on the highway coming back from the dealer getting my plate. I cannot believe how fast this bike is!

Welcome. Enjoy the ride. Keep an eye on your gauges. That is when traveling below the speed of light. And thanks for serving
