Done two long distance trips, About 3000 miles on a 996 with the DSC run to the sun, and about 2500 in seven days down to the south of France on the 998, including Calais to Nice in one day, 836 miles. I find the bike comfy to ride long distance so why not? I've seen more sports bikes in the south of France on UK plates than tourers, maybe they all use the motor rail or trailer them down, or maybe not. Ray |
