Just being here opens you up to abuse from allllll sorts of people. But, in answer to your question. Your bike will be OK as long as you don't thrash the shit out of it everywhere you go. Take your time - 4 hours a day certainly helps. I was on a SI trip last year and one of the guys was on a VTR250. The rest of us were on 750+ bikes, he had no problem keeping up - most of the time!! Any bike is capable of the trip. Personally I would make sure that the bike is serviced and on good tyres and that you are wearing some decent gear. November is a dodgy time. Last year it was snowing on the West Coast on the way to the Burt Munro Rally and was as windy as hell for the week we were there. Might be an idea to see if you can hook up with some other guys heading the same way - just in case. Enjoy.
