I done Dunedin to Blenheim on a CBR 250, round trip. I done Dunedin to Blen in two days, and Blen to Dunedin in 7 hours.
NOT RECOMMENDED Haha

I did Auckland to Pahiatua (550km) on an MC22 for a mate....not quite as far, but, fuuuuuu...never again, I did the trip from Pahiatua to Aucks in a 1.3 EK Civik hatch too, horrible! I can sit on the ZZR for a day and not be sore, whereas on the CB400 I was cramped and munted. I do have a few old broken bits on me though

Good to see this thread has gone wildly off topic thanks to us, yet again..

I had a MC19, by the time I got back to Dunedin the blood had rushed from my knees and wrists and my fingers had cramped to the throttle grip haha, because I only do about 14km riding daily, I tend to suffer a little on longer trips, but I havnt been lucky enough to take the VFR on a long trip yet.

I expect the viffer will be much like the MC19, I haven't ridden either for years (No excuse, I know).
If I didn't pile into a fence at a silly speed in '05 I'd be sweet on more bikes

cambridge to nelson non-stop on a DRZ400SM for me. via fields and paihiatua tracks. the ferry was a welcome break.

viffer = hell of a lot more uncomfortable than an mc19, and even more so than the mc22 - well at least mine is...could be cause my suspension isn't all saggy though :-P I did 100kms yesterday, neck usually sore by the end of the day

[nzspokes]

in a year,youll look back at this post and laugh at yourself as you are taking off your gear after doing a 400km+ casual last minute ride you and your mates organised cos the weather was nice that morning.
Welcome to the journey, youre gonna have some fun...

Well in saying that MikeD400, Pyeman and I did a 200k ride on Sunday.

And today I rode through peak hour traffic to see the doc from Manurewa to Henderson and back. Just doesnt bother me.

Im really short, and I dont feel too bad on the VFR compared to the CBR, but I find my neck becomes killer sore pretty fast

One day I'll ride up to Auckland and take you down to Mercer for a bacon sandwish or to Okoroire for the best burger on two wheels.

(Every new rider should get to Okoroire at some time)

By the way, my favourite road is over the Kaimais and back. Going south you get those lovely downhill twisties on the Waikato side, then coming back up on a 250 you reach the last three or four tighter corners and you're down to 3rd gear at 9,000 rpm leaned over like a maniac/
