- Here are some tips to enjoying a long ride with a sport bike. Subscribe to this channel for more! goo.gl/BDhwyW
If you're a beginner, be sure to check this video out! If you're not, you may still pick up a few good ideas.
I've broken up this video into 4 sections: Gear | Positions | Mentality | Packing - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
The dehydration one is very important. It took me a few weeks to realize that dehydration was the main factor in my cramping on rides.
Yeah, it’s a sneaky one that you don’t notice until it’s too late.
how did it make you cramp? im just curious
@@votpavel Cramp is often caused by dehydration. Same goes for when playing sports. Next time you have some cramps, drink some water and you'll notice the difference very fast
@@cursemkadcarry3525 it makes no difference to me,my muscles hurt from riding more than any heat related issue,oh well i guess everyone is different
Great info here man. Riders who haven't done this NEED to watch this video before venturing out into the great unknown.
Thanks bro. I have been sincerely enjoying your videos on WBR. I have no idea how you can do as great of a job filming as you do and still get anything done on the bike. You actually inspired me to fix my buddy’s bike that got trashed by a thief. It’s in my garage right now. Just waiting on parts... and maybe the weather to warm up a touch too. I’ve actually learned quite a few things from watching you. Although I must confess, I did have the “lefty-loosey, righty-tighty” already down. (Burrrrrrnnn)
Oh wow nice seeing chase here
Jøhn Frank yeah, he’s basically my stalker. I’m like, “dude, I like you, I’m just not IN like with you.” Ha!
ROKKIT44 "IN LIKE WITH YOU" lmaooooo that's funny asf
Great video. The only thing I would add, is get some kind of cruise control. There is nothing worse than not being able to stretch one arm on a multi hour/ day ride.
So glad you mentioned the ear plugs that for me is easily the #1 thing to be able to ride a long time and so many people neglect it
I remember my first long ride. My ears were ringing after only a few hours. I fixed that right away.
He mentioned that you should have a comfortable helmet so why would you need ear plugs if your helmet protect your ears and his quiet from the wind. Also earplugs will block out your hearing to emergency sirens etc.
Just get the ear plugs bro. What are you a 'man'
@@blairakana9984 youre wrong about everything its amazing
not when you have oem pipes 😎
Awesome video. I especially love the quote: "If you're only aiming to get from hotel A to hotel B - take a flight instead."
Yes, I feel it’s very true. We sometimes forget to enjoy the ride both on the road and in life.
Just saying it was hotel to hotel lol 😂 no hate
cryptic gamez none taken. :)
Used that as an excuse for being driving the sports bike too fast on the highway "I'm just flying there..." Did not work 🙄
I am shocked they didn’t let you “continue your flight”. 😂
Good video. I would also recommend wearing a padded bicyclists shorts under your regular pants. It's a life saver on 1000 plus mile rides
H2 Joe great advice!
I mean, at this point wouldn't it be better to own a naked bike?
Look up Motoskiveez.com. I have no financial interest in this company, I'm just a satisfied customer. Their riding shorts are a butt saver for long rides.
H2 Joe Best advice I’ve ever heard about this issue. A pair of those would have made my trip 50% better. There were points where I was literally just swearing like a trucker all pissed off while gorgeous scenery was all around me lol.
dude holy crap. gotta try this. Thank you!
I ridden my 899 Panigale on several trips through Cambodia, Thailand, Laos and Vietnam - it's ALWAYS HOT, as in 30-37c and often pouring rain. All of Rokkit's suggestions are good and easy to do - i did like the changing position options, i feel i've tried them all (sort of). But i think the two most helpful tips are: (1) take regular stops - 2 hours typically, (2) drink water frequently. Have fun, take care.
Awesome comment. Thank you!
If you like spotbikes and touring then what you really need is:
1- 1000cc bike
2- Aftermarket seat
3- Adjustable foot pegs
4- Heated grips
5- Aftermarket windscreen
5- Smartphone / GPS holder (whit charging option from bike battery)
0.5- Young body
can r6/zx636 do long trip?
@@soofirazak7691 it sure as heck can.
I just wouldn't recommend it, depending on how long you would want to go. After about 5 hours it'll be pretty painfuk
Raised clip ons would really help.
I have ridden all kinds of bikes but 1000 vs 600 doesn't wear me out either way. All of the rest are not a bad idea at all.
one question; why this master piece doesnt have much views and most of the shit on TH-cam has M?... I dont understand...really.
Lol. Then let’s change that. Be sure to share a link on your fb, twitter, google+ ... Hey, why not share it in Myspace too! It couldn’t hurt. Lol.
ROKKIT44 I can do It, but nothing would change, 4.000.000.000 of flies cant be wrong ...ring a Bell?
cause youtube promotes whatever they want
Sure is a masterpiece.
TH-cam is a fucked up place lol
Sooo pretty sure 95% of this applies to any bike. Not just sportbikes
GrindbIast you’re correct. However, if you’re riding a sport bike on a trip, you will want to use most of these tips several hours sooner than your cruiser buddies. :)
Very true. My old cbr500 (more of a sports/touring position) was far more accommodating for long distance travel than my old 600rr or my current fireblade. I managed to put just over 900km (560miles) in one day of freeway riding. While I had a sore butt, my back was fine. My 600rr I managed to get 400km (248 miles) throughout a whole day with twisty riding and some freeway, and had to have way more stops.
I wouldn't go back to the 500 for anything though :D Thanks for the informative video man.
@@ROKKIT44 well I don't have a cruiser but iv noticed that sports bikes are better than naked on the motorway...being buffeted by the wind is what killed nakeds for me..I much enjoy my cbr 600rr as oposed to 796 M when it comes to long trips.Spot on video,though.Got me scareg on the earplugs so imma be using em from now on
The one Golden rule is to fuld send all the Way dont go less than 300 kmh and you be there much faster or youll see if god isnt real or not
I could never ride like that. It wreaks havoc on your spine. 😂
Very informative vid. I busted out laughing when you switched riding position to reverse riding. lol
CLUTCH1st Lol. ya gotta try every riding position to see what works for you, right?
Yeah, infact most of the illustrations made me 😂laugh
This is not limited to sports bike. This is applicable advice for (motor)bikers in general.
Fair enough. That said, sport bikes are often the least comfortable and so this benefits them the most. :)
Oh, don't get me wrong, you're probably right. I don't have direct personal experience with long trips on an Race replica, just figured being on something other than a sports bike isn't going to be that much better when overly packed or when the rider gets cocky and overextends their riding times and skips breaks, etc.
Also not un important : Let your bike get checked up by a mechanic and make sure it's safe.
Agreed, however that should be done regularly. Additionally, I do a proper walk around every single time I get on. Washing and detailing my bike also gives me a very close up view of anything that may be out of order.
Nice vid. I do Iron Butt runs on my ZX10r. I think many year's riding sports bikes just acclimatised me to the position and I don't really feel any discomfort. Luuurv those long trips!
OldMan Gaming I’ve noticed I’ve become better at long distance rides as well. Some of it, I attribute to this tips, while some I’m sure comes from just getting used to it.
That's exactly what I need for my first long trip with YZF-R6, it's gonna be tough but I hope these tips can help me out. Thanks for making this great video.
Please let me know how it goes. Just make sure to build up your tolerance. I can ride far longer now than 10 years ago when I started riding sport bikes.
How did it go?
Fazer 800. Best trips I ever had. Comfy, powerfull reliable. I miss her 😭
Trying 99 forms with your bike is a good way to bonding relationships
Ha!
Love the video dood =) good to see you back
Thanks for the compliment man, and also for the shout-out today on IG. You have a very passionate group following you.
I’m planning on taking my cbr600rr from Wisconsin to Houston Texas next spring/summer. Thanks for all the info!
THIS IS GREAT! Doing my first long term trip on my bike this summer!! 😄
Doodle On A Motorcycle that’s awesome! Lemme know how it goes!
Good vid. I’m planning a out of state trip come April. I’ve ridden 285 miles non stop before and didn’t suffer too bad. My bum was sore from the hard seat most of sportbike riders know. My back and wrists were just fine. From past experiences, I never leave on ride of any size without a cell phone. Mankind’s best friend.
Lol. Good on ya bro!
I once did 300 km and man the pain I had to go through later when I got back. I rode a KTM if any of you folks were wondering. Well eventually it gets better or you sell that to get a naked Street bike like I have now. Peace to all the Riders out there, May the Corners be Forgiving! Amen!
KTM's are less forgiving than some bikes, but I have had friends that have ridden them thousands of miles on huge trips, so it probably had more to do with HOW you were riding than anything else. I could be wrong though.
Here in India, the roads have speed bumps we call speed breakers and with constant traffic near intersections on highway and slow moving traffic. All this will tire us out pretty quick and we never really get a chance to maintain the correct position on super sport as we're constantly breaking suddenly due to cattle, bumps, jay walkers, stupid drivers.
I recently did a Mumbai to Pune and it was too painful. I couldn't believe that a mere 160 Kms ride can do that on a supersport. On flat highways, one can do 350 Kms without exhaustion.
That's my take on it. Super sports are not made for touring and it becomes evident as soon as you take yours out on a long ride. It will be clear as a day at 100-120 Kms mark.
went from Miami ,FL - Alexandria, LA on a GSXR600. 1,050 mile journey. Fun. Except it started at 80 degrees in Miami and I arrived when it was 12 degrees.
That's impressive! Nice work!
Did you go by yourself? I want to do something similar on my gsxr 600 from Boston-California
Whoa. Long trip to my home town. Hope you got some boudin from Debarge's.
Great Vid, I watch this and others before a 33 day 11,300 klm trip I did a few months ago, I made up a set of hwy pegs with a pipe between to frame and engine and placed rubber foot pegs at the ends , a gel pad in the seat and a sheep skin cover help a lot, riding 700 klms most days , when it came to packing I used zip lock bags and sqeezed the air out and took up less space like they were like vaccum packed and sealed.this trip was on a 1981 suzuki katana 1100cc .
I do the same thing. Great point!
Simple and easy to understand even with beginner level english. Perfect video
I do what I can. :)
Good video, good advice, and made the video in a funny way 😂 with the highest quality!👌 Very nice! 💪 greetings from portugal! 👊
Linkinado back atcha from Canada! Thanks for the compliment. Very much appreciated.
I do long trips on my 250 sometimes, taking breaks it the winner! well and bringing cookies ;D
MotoGanove Lol. 250’s are a fun ride. They feel fast even when their going slower. :)
What an important blog on how to carry yourself for long bike ride !! Boom your content is solid
Some great advice, particularly rolling your clothes.
I rode from Izmir to Amsterdam through the Alps and back on S1000RR.
Sportsbikes are great on long journey, unless you're big person.
Just like most things in life, it’s about managing one’s expectations. It’s not super comfortable, but still can be fun if you’ve prepared for it.
Biggest thing to include....tire plug kit...they can be small and compact and will save you if you hit a nail..
Not a bad idea at all.
Cool video mate ! I might add 2 tips from my experience and this is good for any kind of bike. First, wear a handkerchief or face tube under your lid. As you have to stop many times in a day you will get far less irritation from removing and putting on your full face helmet. It also keeps your earbuds firmly in place when riding. Second: throttle lock, throttle rocker or equivalent. It's all great fun and games during the first few days but soon enough you will need to rest your right hand from constant gripping while riding. I have found the throttle rocker to be the most effective way to do that for myself.
Those are two GREAT ones. Actually I do both of those. I picked up some super slippery black fabric that makes it even better than normal cloth. I'm going on a long-ish trip starting tomorrow, so I may grab my throttle lock and throw it back on. Thanks for the comment.
Thanks for putting this out. One other thing to do is get adjustable clipons. Raise em up when you go for long rides.
Cool idea. I'll have to try those out.
I've done many long trips on bike and thought I'd have nothing to learn, but the tip on how to put the stuff in the bag vertically was very good.
Thanks! I can't remember if I came up with that myself or saw it somewhere, but I've used it for several years. So much easier to pack up a bad that isn't torn apart from the night before.
As always your vid is a must watch! Great info
MtnMoto thanks bro.
I did 4660 miles EU trip on gsxr 750 k4. Anyone with a tourer will really struggle to keep up with the distances I covered before the end of each day. On of them was 18 hours with stops only for fuel :D The only downside was I can’t carry the baggage they do :P Glad you did that video so more people can be inspired to take their favourite bikes out on long trips.
Йордан Христов That is epic, bro! You sir, are an animal. Nice work!
Йордан Христов what I do when I was on a long trip like that with my Ninja Kawasaki 300cc 2013 all I do is carry my backpack I had my water food and an extra pair of pants and socks so if it gets soaked and sunglasses if I need it but my helmet has attended visor on the inside that can pull down over the clear visor tell my friend he has a sports cruising bike so he carried the rest of the stuff that we needed like the tools if anything happen the med kit extra battery packs and also we both had extra money in cash and in the bank just in case anything happened and we made sure all the locations where we're going has gas stations restaurants bathrooms and also places just in case apart breaks that we can pick up at the motorcycle store
I just finished a trip from Newport News VA to Baltimore. Not a very king trip but it was my longest trip traveled. I’m glad that my 2018 zx14 is very comfortable and I felt great after a 6 hour trip. Me and my made about 3 stops for gas and to stretch but overall it was great. He has a 06 R1 and he said he bottom had a little pain but that was it. I was perfectly fine just had a little pain in my hands
Considering a 1500 mile round trip on a ZX10R. This gave me some extra confidence, thanks
You’re welcome! Let me know how it goes!
I watched the whole thing. The song reminded me of Trailer park boys and I think that's why I kept watching. But then I enjoyed the helmet being placed on other people I laughed out loud. Subbed and liked
Glad you liked it. And thanks for the sub! I'll keep 'em comin'
Great video oddly I found it funny with the mini clips in between 😂😂😂
I'm glad you enjoyed it, Bro.
Thank you for this awesome information. Long trips on the R-6 don’t have to daunting!!
Awesome video!!!!!👍🏾
Thanks man! Very much appreciated.
The water aspect is HUGE. I wasn't aware of my water intake on my first long trip (3.5 hours to destination, riding for hours while there, then riding back home the next morning) and I got suuuper dehydrated and had to ride back home feeling sick as all shit, ruining my trip completely. Haven't made that mistake sense! Great video man!
I've done 3 cross country tours, usually averaging 900-1500 miles a day depending if its highway or back roads. Heated grips are a must, not an option. Full rain gear from head to toe is a must, not an option. Training is a must, you need to go to a gym and do squats and deadlifts and shoulder presses if you want to ride past the 1000 mark per day. Strength is key, and it must be trained. And also, pain tolerance and mental tolerance, embracing the pain and telling yourself while smiling that its all good CONSTANTLY. Over and over and over again.
Got it
just buy a cruiser saves you all this trouble
I hear ya, but I think there's a balance between tolerating discomfort and self flagellation. Lol You definitely need to be in shape though. Just working out at the gym isn't enough though. Riding toughens up certain core muscles that are hard to target.
sounds horrible if u ask me
Great Vid & Info.
Well edited as usual, and definitely smart to bring the duct tape and surgical gloves options, that don’t take much extra room :)
Dracati Ducati yeah, I was a bit of a hero that day. Lol
IMO one the most informative video saw in TH-cam, Thanks brother 🙏🏻
Thank you very much. I do what I can.
Touring on a dedicated sports bike is a younger man's game. I've learned in my years of riding for me the sport touring option of bikes is the way to go. Best of both worlds.
I’m all about, “to each their own” on this one. I’ve tried various bikes, but I just keep coming back to my sportbike. For me, I enjoy the precision. This video obviously works for all types of bikes, but sport riders are gonna need these tips sooner in a ride. Thanks for your comment. I appreciate the different viewpoint.
Awesome advice yet the inserts kept me laughing non stop🤣
I'm always glad to see your comment. Shame I missed responding until now
I might just be the biggest idiot in the world but I'm going to do the trip, I've be driving my 50cc sportsbike from the Swedish boder to Bergen so I can celebrate 17th of May in my home town and suprise my Brothers,, it's estimated to take around two days between overnight Stop In the middle of Norway, I be bringing my tent and touring backpack with sleeping bag as well as camping equitment and personal stuff since I'm going to stay in Bergen for a while.. it's going to be amazing and I know it's going to be hard ... but thet tour is worth it .. I could drive stright without stop .. than I dont need my tent and stuff but than it will take around 17 -18 hours 😅 Wish me good luck, I will be making a documentary on the whole trip
PlectrumZ Gaming a 50 CC sportsbike? I didn’t know they made those. The smallest I’ve seen is 125, and thing was small! That’s going to be quite a trip! We have a tv show here in Canada called Motorcycle Experience. A few years ago they had a segment where one of their hosts rode a 50 CC scooter across Canada. That’s an epic journey if you ask me. But he did it. Send me a link of this flick you’re making when you’re done. I’d be interested in seeing it.
ROKKIT44 I will make sure to do that
plectrumz did you you do it? got a link to the video?
Maybe still riding there :P
There are actually many different 50 cc sportsbikes,such as Aprilia AF1 50, Aprilia RS50, Yamaha TZR50, Derbi GPR50, Cagiva Mito 50, Rieju RS1, Rieju RS2 and Peugeot XR6.They are quite common in Europe,and are popular with teenagers who want a 50 cc bike that's not a scooter (because of European laws,teens can only ride 50 cc bikes until they reach a certain age at which they can upgrade to 125 cc).Many of those bikes,at least older ones from 90s and early 2000s,had Minarelli AM6 engine,a 50 cc two stroke engine with six gear manual transmission,and when derestricted could reach top speed of around 90-100 km/h.
Thank you very much! I love my Fireblade. But have always stressed about long trips. Now I am just going to go for it and enjoy every minute. :)
It's worth it. But I will tell you from experience it gets tougher after every rest break. The fatigue comes on sooner and sooner the longer the trip. So you end up taking longer breaks. Plan accordingly. Best wishes
I wonder how it worked out for you. Earl's response was very true. The trick is to set an attainable distance. Usually 75% of what you think you could do. That way, you don't always feel like you are chasing the sun. And if you find an especially nice road, you can turn around and do it again and not finish your day in the dark. The point is to enjoy the journey.
Great tips! When I bought my current bike last summer I could'nt help myself and took it for a long ride back down to where I grew up, in three days I got about 2200km riding in and it all went really fine, but on the way back home I felt so so so very old, knees hurting and stuff. But it was great fun and so worth it!
I did manage to actually do most of your tips in this video! (Even if I had'nt seen it then)
Moto Nordico that’s awesome! Yes, many of these tips were learned the hard way for me.
Great vid.. I'm in the planning stages for a 9000+ mile USA ride on my Panigale 1199s.
That will be epic!
Just remember to slow down every 3000 miles or so- you don't want to get wet
@ Audrey... I'm most worried about high temps as the Panigale runs very hot in traffic (100c+) even in the UK. How it's going to handle Florida, Arizona, Death Valley etc does cause concern. I'm looking at ways to improve the cooling.
Horizon Rider I'm from the northeast USA, I get too hot long before the bike does.
Sure you are.
Great video!
Cheers!
Watched this video twice...wasn't bored...thanks for being so informative! Good one! Glad I subscribed some time ago.
these kind of videos make me want to get up and go ride, thanks great video
I ride a Sportster, but all of this applies. Great Quality stuff here man. Thank you.
Agreed. It all applies. Super sports probably use these tips first since, all things being equal, they will hurt first. :)
OMG! A challenge to Ryan F9 videos! I disagree on the speaker thing, though. Pick the right plugs (NoNoise plugs do it for me) and I hear my speakers quite well, if not a 100% pure audio experience (Air GT - Sena 20S)
Richard Emerson fair enough. I find that the earbuds do an excellent job for me. They give enough ear protection while still allowing me to hear the road and have the added benefit of far better quality sound for both music and talking to other riders. That said, to each their own.
Great vid. I’ve done 3 trips from SoCal to Seattle and back and four trips from Florida to Cali. Honda CBR600RR on the North to South trips, a Daytona 675R on one East to West trip, and two on a Panigale. All tips are sound advice.
Nice! Thanks for the comment!
I did a combined 18hr ride with my brother on our sport bikes... EPIC! We we're flying all the way there and the memories bro, the memories!
So true. This is why we ride. Memories sustain us in the bad times and strengthen bonds in the good. I'll see you out there!
2:49 the best part !! hahahah
I do what I can to please.
Now subbed 👌🏽😎
Glad to have you, bro!
Ok i subscribed, this video is serious but uses humour to explain with great clips to describe our inner emotions. Nailed it! Ill be looking for more videos.
Thank you for the sub! Being that this one kinda blew up, I've been replying in batches. My mom always told me if someone gives you something, you should thank them. So... thank you.
Reading to London and back (not an epic journey) on A roads was hard on my back, my ears and my right arm. Should have watched this video but live and learn. Thanks for the upload
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for the comment!
Useful info with comical visuals - I think you may be on to something. Good stuff. On another note: I believe in wearing earplugs, so I have not gotten a Bluetooth device. Can you use both?
gloverintl the headphones I show in the video act as earplugs by blocking out the wind noise while being able to play something you actually wanna hear. Just make sure the buds are small enough that they don’t get caught when you put your helmet on.
You can plug your earphones in your intercom (there's often a plug for that, like on my Sena 20s), without having to remove the speakers. And it's true above 60MPH, can't hear anything at all. That's why I'm waiting for my Slimbuds to arrive (been waiting nearly two years): www.byeaos.com/
That is exactly what I do. Up to about 100km/hr (60mph) I can hear my BT device fine.
I have a Shark helmet and a Scala Packtalk. I wear silicone moulded ear plugs. I can hear the intercom throught the earplugs just fine and hold conversations at 80mph. The newer speaker drivers are excellent, and the audio very clear and loud. You wont have any problem.
Yes
Re: duct tape - it'll take up the least amount of room if you wrap it several times around an expired credit card, instead of a tube of any sort.
Liked and subbed!
Yep, you can take more in that way too. I do that for backpacking.
Great point! Thanks for the tip!
@@Ramcharger.Outdoors
That's from where my tip came ; )
I have a sportbike and i have dan a long trip and you are absolutely right!!!!
Thanks man!
Just subscribed! I I am a woman and I have a sport bike in Knoxville Tennessee and I’m planning a long road trip all through North Carolina Virginia and all the mountain areas of the east. So I watched your video on how to pack, because obviously I need to bring some essentials and it will change the dynamics and the physics when riding the motorcycle. Super helpful I appreciate it and I look forward to more videos.
Oh , I love the way you produce the video it’s got a Lotta good humor While keeping safety in mind.
Being dehydrated makes you dumber than being drunk. Not a good combo on a sportbike. I use a camelbak. Works amazing.
Great tip!
Being really hungry does the same, I crashed my new bike that way :(
@@_Jesse_ just take meth...... Methylphenidate er...... aka concerta hahaha
@@lifeisgood070 Hahahhaha thanks for the advice man, will definitely try that next time.
@@_Jesse_ kinda a joke. Don't take it unless prescribed. And in my opinion don't take any drugs until age 25 if you can. I would really recommend no weed, alcohol, etc. below those ages as best you can. Again I did not follow it. But I was pretty good at following until around 19-20.
Now that I'm 30 I notice a lot of patterns between ppl that drank early and life and people that smoked early in life. Highly recommend letting the brain develop. I think concerta and vyvanse don't have terrible negative affects, but would def recommend waiting to 20-22 as a minimum.
Also don't do a camelbak with 80% water and 20% orange juice. That really helped me, but I got 12x cavities in less than 6 months.
Not sure what options that leaves. Maybe a non-sulfate magnesium (glycinate tastes bad but works well), 1/2 teaspoon redmon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon potassium biterate (look up snake juice or other electrolyte mixes).
Anyways best of luck
That 🐕... hahaha
Glad you liked it. That dog makes me laugh every time.
I was really curious about your tips and had like zero expectations. After watching this video : very surprised about such good ideas and tips. Will use a lot of them and it really made me confident for my next trip which I planned for the coming weekend 😁
Big thumbs up!!
Aykut I hope it went well!
Great info!i might be crazy but i was more comfortable on my 05' R1 than i was on my dad's 03' Fzs 600!
I didn't read all 216 comments or the comments comments so if I'm repeating something that's already been brought up I'll have to pull a Gilda Radner and say... Never mind.
If you're starting out to start touring do yourself a big favor. While you're doing normal maintenance on your bike use the tools supplied in your tool kit. You will find you don't exactly have everything you need. By using your tool kit to do your normal maintenance repair items you can put together a more useful tool kit. Nothing worse than being broke down on the side of the road and discovering you don't have the right tools to do what you need to do to get on down the road.
David Cantwell that’s a GREAT point! Thanks for adding that.
You will find that Harbor Freight is your friend particularly for hand tools.
AWESOME

Looks like gibberish to me. Lol Thanks though!
I own a Kawasaki ZX10R. I rode it 1500km to meet up with my best mate who owns the same model bike. We then rode 900km more togther to get to the 2016 Australian MotoGP. We had a blast for the 4 days that we were there and then we turned around and rode all that way back again. I went the very bare essentials but they included water, tools to adjust chain tension and other small tech issues and some clothes. Footwear was a pair of thongs (you guys call them flip flops). The journey was from Alice Springs, Northen Territory, Australia to Adelaide, South Australia and on to Melbourne, Victoria and back. 4800km in total on a ZX10R.
That’s AWESOME! And for the record, I’m Canadian. We alternate between calling them flip flops and thongs. No idea why. Lol.
Being in shape and regular exercises improves long rides on sport bikes. That's why I hit the gym.
Hit it hard! Do you even lift bruh?
@@ROKKIT44
Ya, I started going to the gym in 2013, after doing a 3000 mile road trip on my old ZX-10R felt pretty sore after I got home.
"How to do LONG trips on a SPORTBIKE"
step 1- just do it
thanks for your attention XD
Please make a comprehensive video with this long list you have here. :)
Username checks out
Thats all nice but i only take a backpack with some food and drink.
Money for gas maybe and phone.
If you need more i suggest to take the car instead 🤣
To each their own. Like many, I prefer to strike a balance of being prepared vs. being free.
NICELY DONE! Great pace and a ton o' fun...
Love this video....I have a 2018 CBR1000RR that I got Brand New zero miles and so far I have put 13,800 miles on my bike. I take fairly long trips on my bike and this was very informative.
Or....buy a bike you can do long trips on without worry :)
Missed the point hey?
You sound like male Siri voice 👌
LMAO! I never knew there was such a thing
Well that's you brother hahaha
very helpful vid that all sportbike riders should watch!
Thanks man! Feel free to share. ;)
Good information, Well done... A pleasure to watch. Thank you.
Cheers!
*drop a gear*
make the long trip short
Dropping a gear is for faster acceleration. Upping a gear will get you there faster. Lol
Or just don't buy a sports bike if you want to go on long rides...
Nailed it. :)
That is why I bought an FJR1300. My longest trip has been only 6000 miles. I say "only" because I have friends that have completed an Iron Butt Rally (11000 miles in 11 days to be competitive).
Don't miss out on a long ride because you only have a sportbike. Get out and ride what you have. I've done 500+ mile days on a Buell XB12SCG.

I've been a biker for 35 years now. Excellent video, editing was top notch. Good advice. A touring screen if possible WILL make your trip much more enjoyable. Even on my Blackbird a touring screen made a massive difference, and the Blackbird is known to be one of the most comfortable sports tourers. A scarf also drastically reduces wind noise and keeps your neck warm in colder weather. My riding boots gets extremely hot, so I drilled 3. 6mm holes in the toe, so when I get hot I stick my toe out a bit and gets nice fresh air flowing through, but plug up holes in rain.
Great tips! My boots have a vent that I can close to keep the rain out, but if they didn’t, I would consider getting out the drill. Lol.
I found a gem today and it's your channel
Now yer makin' me blush. Lol Thank you.
Im gonna have to disagree on wearing earplugs. You need the sound of your surrounding to have more awareness.
It’s honestly funny this pops into my recommendations when it does.
I’m planning a trip back home 12 hours away and trying to figure out how I’m going to get two cars and a bike back home. I’ve been playing around with the idea of rode tripping my 2001 R6 back and having my buddies tow my tow cars back and me just following em. After watching this, I might just give it a shot
This is a great video. I recommend this to all new riders.
Thank you. Please feel free to spam your friends with this video. :)
The tips are good and all that, but I just really liked the production and everything about it. Well done, you've got yourself a new subscriber.
Thank you for both the comment and the sub! If you like the production quality, be sure to check out some of my other stuff too. There’s 3 main streams: 1. How-Tos like this video. 2. Talking vids on the bike. 3. And finally videos I like to call, Feature Flicks. In these, I try to tell a story that revolves around riding in some way. For each stream, I try to challenge myself instead of doing the same old thing over and over. Anyway, I’d love to know what you think of the rest. :)
Thank you really needed this
I did a solo trip from Sacramento to Needles, to Albuquerque, to Oklahoma City, to Shreveport, to Pensacola, to Gainesville, Florida. 2007 gsxr 600.
Yup. That’s a decent sized trip
Just the video I need. I just crashed my long touring weapon, a KTM 1290 Super Adventure, in my last tour (5800 Km around Sumatra Island Trip) about a couple month ago. So I need to prepare myself for the next touring (Celebes Island) with my Honda CBR650F, which I usually ride daily as a commuter, or for a short weekend trip.
Thanks, Bro.. keep up the good work..👍🏼👍🏼
Sorry to hear about your crash, but glad to hear you’re alright. See you out there.
Thanks Bro...👌👌🙏🏽🙏🏽
Great video, since many of these things actually apply to long trips on ANY bike, not just a sportbike. The surgical glove tip was kinda neat, I'll try that when autumn comes since my hands are usually the first part of my body that gets cold when riding.
TzeiEm true dat! They definitely help, but if you really want to take it to the next level, do that PLUS heated grips. It saved me in the rain when in the mountains last week when the temp dropped to just above freezing. Neither would have been enough, but together, I was toasty.
That ending was great!!!
Thanks!
I am touring on sportbike every month and agree with your advise.
It's definitely not the easiest way to ride long distance, but I still love it.
Great video and great tips! Going on a long ride soon with a friend on our sport bikes. Hadn't intended to get a communicator but after watching this i think I will.
Definitely going to look at a textile jacket and riding shoes instead of boots now too!
Pro Potato just make sure they are above the ankle. And yeah, the communicators are so worth it.
Your videos are awesome!!! I enjoy the humor, keep up good work!!
Thank you sir!
Thanks brother this was really well said
You're welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Oh my I just discovered this channel, very underrated! Good content.
Thanks so much. Please share so I can be one of those “overrated” channels instead. :)
Some good advice there especially pulling over an rest an strectch
Thai Douangkham that’s a good tip for every driver when you think about it. How many accidents could be avoided with drivers falling asleep or just simply losing attention.
Going on 3 hours to another to state was no joke my legs was sore I pulled over every 40 mins between rides 15-20 mins breaks an gps the next gas station .I have a small tank under 4 gallon I get ruffly 160 miles on a tank knowing the littles saves ass from being out of gas in middle no where.lol
so entertaining. laughed a lot. thank you for sharing the tips
You got it!
